This sketch is in a spiral-bound notebook with graph paper. A small, stick-figure person stands under a black square, holding it like a shield. The figure’s face is blurred, and there’s a wisp of smoke or steam coming from its feet. Above the drawing, messy handwriting in German says something like *"The lack of a work isn’t called..."*—it’s cut off. The drawing looks rough, almost like a doodle, but the words add a twist. The artist used a felt-tip pen and ballpoint on plain notebook paper, not fancy tools. Next, check out Rosemarie Trockel.
