About this work

This drawing shows a simple room corner. There’s a door with a handle and a window with panes. On the wall sits a kerosene lamp with a glass chimney. The lines are light, almost like a sketch. The lamp is real—it’s placed right on the paper. The rest looks drawn in pencil. Look up Jannis Kounellis to see how he mixed real objects with art.
