L’œuvre intitulée Morandi’s Objects est composée de dessins inspirés d’objets vus dans des installations, lors de l’évènement Documenta 13, en 2012. Les objets en question figuraient dans six peintures de Morandi. Les dessins sont une tentative de « se mettre dans les souliers de Morandi » un petit moment.
