Pencil and ink on Chateau Marmont envelope
Approx. 6 × 11 in (15.2 × 27.9 cm)
Unique work
Drawn on the back of a Chateau Marmont envelope, this untitled 2025 work by Luke Haeger blurs the line between artwork and artifact. Using pencil and ink, Haeger transforms an everyday object into a contemplative surface—infusing the ephemerality of the material with a sense of quiet monumentality.
The drawing spans the envelope’s elongated format with architectural poise and intuitive rhythm. Precision lines intersect with gestural marks, suggesting an abstract topography or internal map. Haeger’s use of found paper is deliberate: the choice of a culturally charged item like a Chateau Marmont envelope adds layers of narrative, myth, and place.
At once intimate and expansive, this singular piece offers a compelling entry point into Haeger’s world—where drawing becomes both portal and palimpsest. An evocative work for collectors of contemporary works on paper, artifacts of place, and conceptual gesture.
