Extra info: Original and signed work from 2020 on an old written document (table with numbers and amounts), which serves as memory and bears traces of history. Alechinsky uses his characteristic black ink to create an expressive composition that blends organically with the original texts and figures, generating a subtle tension between administrative precision and spontaneous visual language. This work aligns with Alechinsky's long-standing practice of drawing on old documents (see Fine Arts Museum Brussels, Carta Canta, 2021), where the support functions both as material and as bearer of memory.
The work is exhibited with a dark oak background and a matching frame.
