Stephen Prina's 2012 work, "Untitled/Exquisite Corpse: The Complete Paintings of Manet 227 of 556 Baigneuses en Seine (Bathers in the Seine) 1874?," consists of two empty frames, one above the other, suspended on a white wall. The artwork is a playful commentary on the nature of art history and the influence of past artists on contemporary work. Prina's use of empty frames, referencing Manet's iconic "Baigneuses en Seine," challenges viewers to consider the absence of a painting as a form of art itself.
