Untitled (no. 7129)
Pappi fan out from the heart of an overblown flower. As in all his work, the Italian artist Penone expresses his profound awe of the natural growth process, here the germination from seedling to plant. This drawing has been gifted to the museum by one of its generous Friends to mark the Penone sculpture exhibition in the gardens, Wim Pijbes’ departure, and Taco Dibbits’ appointment as General Director of the Rijksmuseum.
