Yes, Joseph Kosuth created "One and Three Chairs" in 1965, which is considered a seminal work in conceptual art. The piece features an actual chair, a photograph of the chair, and a dictionary definition of the word "chair," exploring the relationship between language, reality, and representation. This work is significant for its examination of how meaning is constructed and understood in art.
Joseph Kosuth produced "One and Three Chairs" in 1965 to explore the relationship between language, meaning, and representation in art. The artwork consists of a physical chair, a photograph of the chair, and a dictionary definition of the word "chair," highlighting the differences between the object, its representation, and its conceptual meaning. By juxtaposing these three interpretations, Kosuth challenges viewers to consider how meaning is constructed and the role that context plays in understanding art. This piece is a key example of conceptual art, emphasizing ideas over traditional aesthetic concerns.

I wasn't familiar with this piece until I looked it up. It is a chair, a life-size photo of that chair, and an enlarged dictionary definition of the word "chair." If your gallery is displaying this work, you don't get the chair, the photo or the definition; you get a copy of the definition, a drawing explaining how to set it up, and instructions to get a chair, photograph it and blow the photo up to full size, create the poster with the definition on it (all of which is much easier now that we have big inkjet printers, than it was when Kosuth devised this piece) and hang it in a certain fashion. Kosuth asks, is a concept valid if its realization changes every time it's executed? My feeling of this piece is, it only displays its full power as a collection, perhaps in a book or a web page. If you see one installation of One and Three Chairs you think, "so what?" In isolation, this is a very boring work. Only when you see how a number of people have executed Kosuth's concept does this make sense.
