A reimagination of the age-old trope of the transient salesperson, Antone Konst’s Free Peddler is a forum for the exchange of objects. With a shelf for a backpack, stocked by the artist with everyday necessities and bric-a-brac, the figure becomes a reflection of the surplus of tradable goods in contemporary society.
