Joseph Kosuth eliminated imagery from his artwork, instead using language to convey ideas more directly. He based The Sixth Investigation on a logical treatise written by Lewis Carroll, best known as the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The work examines games and logic and their relationship to language.
