        "description": "Kosuth is regarded as one of the most significant artists to champion conceptualism, which values the idea of an artwork over the physical object itself. In this work, Kosuth compares three different ways to present information, represented by an etymological dictionary definition of <em>photograph</em>, a photograph by Linda Butler of the nearby Peter B. Lewis building designed by Frank Gehry, and a life-size photograph of Butler\u2019s photograph. Kosuth\u2019s groundbreaking work presciently questions what it means for any image to be an \u201coriginal\u201d and whether this distinction influences a picture\u2019s meaning.",
