Lint van crèmekleurig gaas van 15 meter c. 1900 - 1915

"Lint van crèmekleurig gaas van 15 meter" (Ribbon of cream-colored gauze of 15 meters) is a minimalist work by Dutch artist Gustav Schnitzler, created between 1900 and 1915. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a simple yet striking example of Schnitzler's fascination with everyday materials. The cream-colored gauze ribbon, neatly rolled up and labeled with its dimensions, exemplifies Schnitzler's minimalist style, which often elevated everyday objects to the level of art. This work challenges traditional notions of art by focusing on the materiality and simplicity of the subject.
