Ohne Titel 1977 2 — Fine Art

Ohne Titel 1977 2 shows a pale ground with a few painted shapes laid in carefully. The work belongs to the practice of concrete art, where flat colour and simple form take the place of a subject. You see the shapes first and the empty space around them.

The fine art print uses a matte paper that holds the pale tones without shine. A black frame gives the picture a firm edge, so the shapes do not drift into the wall. The frame keeps the layout quiet.

In a narrow hallway, the pale shapes stand out against the darker paint on the wall. You notice the hard line of each shape as you pass. The black frame sits close to the picture and holds it in place.
