Leaves Collected on 27 of October in the Glasgraben 1977

"Leaves Collected on 27 of October in the Glasgraben" (1977) by Herman de Vries is a minimalist artwork that features a grid of twenty-two leaves. The leaves are arranged in rows of three or four, with slight variations in size and shape. This piece reflects de Vries' interest in the natural world and the passage of time. The use of leaves as a subject matter is indicative of the Conceptual Art movement and its emphasis on ideas over traditional aesthetic concerns.
