In the collection

  • Study for a Window

    Helena Strand · 1958

    Strand drew the same kitchen window for most of one winter. In this study the light is doing all the work; the window frame is barely there.

  • Kitchen Chair

    Helena Strand · 1961

    A wooden chair pulled out from the table, as if someone has just stood up. Strand kept it in the studio so it could not be tidied away.

  • Sleeping Cat

    Helena Strand · 1964

    The only animal in Strand's work: her own cat, Pim, drawn in the eleven minutes he slept on the windowsill.
