What appear to be two mirrors hung in a corner so that they reflect the window opposite.
Closer inspection reveals that only the right side is an actual mirror; the left side is a
trompe-l’oeuil wall painting of a mirror frame with a reflection of the window opposite.
The mirror on the right reflects a painting rather than reality. Framed 16” x 16” mirror, 16” x 16” oil on wall.
From Whitney, Installation View 2003.
