About this work

This sketch shows a dimly lit room with a fireplace, bookshelves, and a desk. The walls are lined with framed art, and a couch sits in front of the fire. The drawing is rough, with quick pencil strokes that make it look almost scribbled. The text at the bottom reads *"Honey, I rearranged the collection according to two categories: Nice and Not Nice."* It’s like the artist is joking about sorting art—or life—into simple boxes. If you like this playful mix of drawing and text, check out Allen Ruppersberg.
