This compelling print by Joan Miró, titled "Tracé sur la Paroi III" (Trace on the Wall III), showcases a dynamic abstract composition against a textured grey background. A bold, horizontal black stroke, resembling a raw mark or symbol, traverses the lower portion, complemented by a large, sweeping green crescent shape that dominates the upper right. The artwork is punctuated by vibrant circular forms in blue, pink, and orange, along with smaller red and yellow vertical accents. Thin black lines and enigmatic abstract symbols are scattered across the surface, creating a rich interplay of form, texture, and color that evokes a sense of ancient marks or spontaneous gestures.

This original lithograph by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1967, embodies the artist’s philosophical exploration of materiality and gesture. Executed in muted black and grey ink, the print captures a sweeping motion of expressive strokes—almost calligraphic in nature—emerging from the lower left quadrant and diffusing into the negative space of the composition. The dynamic energy and asymmetrical balance convey a meditative, almost zen-like force, characteristic of Tàpies’ interest in Eastern aesthetics, mysticism, and the material presence of the artwork itself. Antoni Tàpies was a Catalan painter, printmaker, and theorist, and one of the most influential European artists of the postwar period. Initially associated with Surrealism and later with Art Informel, Tàpies developed a unique visual language rooted in abstraction, spiritual inquiry, and material experimentation. His work often incorporates unconventional media such as dust, string, and marble dust, blurring the boundary between painting and sculpture.

This original double-page lithograph by Jean-Paul Riopelle was created in 1974 as part of a limited edition series published in Derrière Le Miroir. The composition features a dynamic interplay of gestural black lines, bold red marks, and soft grey tonal areas, evoking the artist’s signature language of lyrical abstraction.
