In and Under the Mirror 1977

"In and Under the Mirror" (1977) is a pen-and-ink drawing by Richard Artschwager, known for his work exploring the boundary between illusion and reality. The piece depicts a frame within a frame, with a dense, textured pattern inside and spilling out below. Artschwager's signature style is evident in the simple yet powerful form of the drawing, creating a sense of depth and ambiguity. The artwork's play on perspective and its evocative title engage viewers in a contemplation of space and perception.
