Basket, Table, Door, Window, Mirror, Rug #32 1974

Richard Artschwager's "Basket, Table, Door, Window, Mirror, Rug #32" (1974) is a minimalist drawing on paper. The artwork is a black and white line drawing of common household items, such as a table, door, window, and a rug. The minimalist style creates a visual paradox, as the simple geometric shapes and lines evoke a sense of familiarity and everyday life, while simultaneously abstracting those elements into a more conceptual art form. This particular drawing, numbered #32, is from a series of works by Artschwager where he explored the use of simple, iconic forms to depict everyday objects.
