I have lit this candle
Only recently an image of this work was found, illustrating the stories about a mysterious experience told by those who saw it at the time. It features the solo show by Hreinn Fridfinnsson at In Out Center in Amsterdam from April 30 to May 13 1973. 
In a darkened room he presented a flickering candle on a small shelf with a watercolour and the text ‘I have lit this candle and painted these flowers in memory of all the lost opportunities and broken hopes’.
