The conceptual practice of Ciprian Mureşan explores the relation between art and social history in drawings that act as a plural questioning of the notions of value and authorship. For Untitled he copied the reproductions of all the paintings of the famous Ghent altarpiece completed in 1432 by Hubert and Jan van Eyck, a time when art and clergy were closely intertwined. The resuting drawing was engraved on a brass panel of a school bench.
