description: "Michael Max Asher was an American conceptual artist, described by The New York Times as \"among the patron saints of the Conceptual Art phylum known as Institutional Critique, an often esoteric dissection of the assumptions that govern how we perceive art.\" Rather than designing new art objects, Asher typically altered the existing environment, by repositioning or removing artworks, walls, facades, etc."
