The article discusses the artist's signature's long history of deconstruction. It includes the denial of craftsmanship and authorship through Marcel Duchamp, the formation of a signature style through Robert Ryman and Marcel Broodthaers and the dissolution of the artist's subjectivity through Josh Smith.
