About The Work
Margaret Lee is known for her hyper-realistic sculptures of organic food objects, particularly her astoundingly lifelike fruits. Lee painstakingly crafts replicas of these organic forms, calling attention to their unusual attributes, which so often go unnoticed in everyday life. In this offbeat, paradoxical photograph, Fake Flowers, Real Fruit, Lee evokes the tension between two objects in an unusual still-life composition, offering an insightful comment on art history and the value of objects.
