The Jewish Museum has put on exhibition in its lobby a work by the pioneering Conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth, 'À Propos (Réflecteur de Réflecteur) #58'' (2004). Over nearly four decades Kosuth has explored the relationships of art, language, and philosophy, using a wide range of media. 'À Propos (Réflecteur de Réflecteur) #58'' was originally one component in a monumental, labyrinthine installation consisting of eighty-six quotations from dozens of philosophers, fabricated in vinyl letters on glass, backlit in neon. The quotations, affixed to the walls in vertical and horizontal patterns, do not add up to a single worldview but form a multiplicity of voices played out in an intricate intellectual game.
