Martin Kippenberger's eponymously titled work, Kippenblinky (1991), is one of a series of unique standing lamps, made up of smoking pipes embedded in cast resin - an emblematic example of Kippenberger's artistic style. The artist was largely inspired by Venetian ornate furnishings and the homes of the local bourgeoise.
