About this work

This is a mostly empty white canvas with a small white label in the corner that says "Wimpel." On the right side, a triangular piece of fabric is draped over the edge, painted with the word "Seussz" in bright yellow, uneven letters. The fabric’s raw edge and the handwritten look of the letters make it feel unfinished or like a quick sketch. The word "Seussz" might be a playful twist on the artist’s name. Look up Albert Oehlen to see how he plays with simple shapes and text in his work.
