Collection of the artist

Originally, the sides of the blank support sheet were conceived by the artist as an implicit frame for the intervention at the centre. In the 2000s Paolini considered the sides an integral part of the work and thus planned for a passepartout with a cut-out corresponding to the format of the support sheet.
