About the work
In the 1960s, Ferrari began a series of drawings organized in ordered rows that mimicked handwritten letters or the pages of books but contained no discernible text. In blurring the distinction between written language and drawing, the works probed the limits of linguistic expression. Ferrari’s interest in language remained a pervasive concern, as his work in the following decades gradually began to include the appearance of letters, phrases, and legible text.
