So lets is a 2007 by Sue Tompkins, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a blank white rectangle. The edges are slightly uneven, and there’s a faint smudge near the top left corner. In the top right, tiny numbers and letters are printed in a grid—like a code or inventory list. The bottom right corner has a small handwritten mark. It’s a print, not a painting, with almost nothing to see except the paper itself. The artist left it bare on purpose, making the emptiness the whole point. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works that play with space like this.
The poster "So lets" by Sue Tompkins, created in 2007, is printed on thin, off-white paper that shows signs of wear with scuffs and a tear along the right edge. A vertical crease is visible off-center on the right side, while the left side contains two lines of small text reading "I write to you in this frame of mind." The right half features a short paragraph of nonsensical text and "R.S.V.P" in the lower corner, with the artist's signature on the reverse.
