Item: Types of Pipes, by Magritte
1993
Mixed Media, 61 x 61 cm.
Materials: Wood, metal, pvc
Collection: Private Collection, Brussels.
The twin paintings Types of Pipes, by Magritte and Types of Murder Weapons, by Maigret were made for an exhibition in Brussels in 1993. The same collection of objects (different kinds of tubes and pipes) is presented twice, with different titles and signatures, playing with the double meaning of the word “pipe”. The first is signed by Renée Magritte (whose famous Ceci n’est pas une pipe need not to be explained, especially when in Brussels) and the second by inspector Maigret, the famous character from George Simenon’s stories (who besides investigating crimes also had pipes as a trademark).
