About this work

This is a blank white book with a plain cover, sitting upright. The pages inside look empty, too—just a smooth, pale surface. The edges of the pages are slightly frayed, and there’s a faint smudge near the top right corner, almost like a ghost of a mark. The artist made this in the mid-1960s or 70s, but it’s not a painting—it’s a photocopied book with a few loose pages. The emptiness feels intentional, like a joke or a question: *What if a book had nothing in it?* It’s not about the pages themselves but what they leave out. Check out Dan Graham—he played with ideas like this in his work.
