Dan Flavin

Sailing Slowly on the Starnberger See
1975

A sketch of a sailboat on choppy water centered on a square piece of paper, which is mounted on a larger white sheet. Below the sketch, there is handwritten text that appears to be a signature and a date. The style of the drawing is loose and expressive, with many lines suggesting the movement of the water.
