About this work

This drawing shows a simple black outline of a mailbox on a plain white page. The mailbox is just a basic shape with a flag on top, drawn in a few quick lines. Below it, the words "THE MAILBOX" are written in small letters, along with the year "2.2.89." The artist used minimal ink to make this piece feel clean and straightforward. It’s just a small, everyday object turned into art. Check out Ray Johnson for more work like this.
