Rol met lichtgroen lint met één gerafelde zijde en drie zwarte horizontale strepen c. 1930

"Rol met lichtgroen lint met één gerafelde zijde en drie zwarte horizontale strepen" (Roll with light green ribbon with one frayed side and three black horizontal stripes) is a piece of conceptual art by Gustav Schnitzler, dated circa 1930. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork presents a simple, everyday object, a roll of ribbon, transformed into a work of art through its careful presentation. The artist, known for his explorations of the mundane, highlights the inherent beauty and artistic potential in even the most commonplace items. This minimalist approach is characteristic of conceptual art, challenging conventional notions of artistic value and prompting viewers to reconsider the nature of art itself.
