Untitled Black Star — Fine Art

Untitled Black Star - 1965 shows a dark star shape set against a plain background. The mark is a single painted form, held in place by even edges.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. Thomas Downing worked in colour field painting, building shapes with measured paint passes on a flat ground. The paper is matte, so the dark tone stays soft and there is no shine under a lamp.

It arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. You place it on a kitchen wall near the sink, where the dark shape reads from the doorway and the matte surface takes the room light without glare.
