Beside his paintings for which he uses upholstery I was impressed by his performance "Cancellazione d'artista", during which, in 1968, he painted a glass he was staying behind of.
This work was followed, 4 years later, by "Painting", during which he actually rubbed off the paint from the glass he was staying behind of.
It reminded me of the installation I saw in December at the Amsterdam Airport, it's actually a clock. Maarten Baas recorded himself as a working man painting the time minute by minute.
