Drawing on paper in a transparent plastic wrap, created by the artist in 1984, signed and framed with a yellow passe-partout in a wooden frame. The inscription ‘disegno ariano’ is boldly painted in blue cursive in the middle of the envelope, in front of a female figure drawn in pencil, revealing the object’s inherent ideology. This work was part of the ‘Arierwiege’ exhibition-installation (inv. 1023) presented at the Sauro Bocchi gallery in Rome in 1995.
