Steel Pennies That... — Fine Art

Blue paint sits on a white ground inside Steel Pennies That... - 2008. The letters are stenciled in a bright blue and read straight across the sheet.

The blue is solid against the white without blending at the edges. Lawrence Weiner works with language as the mark itself. The blue reads as a flat band of colour set on the paper, so the text is also a colour field.

This fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel and arrives assembled when you choose ready to hang. The letters stay sharp and the blue stays even on the white ground. In a kitchen hallway a person passing by sees the blue text first and reads it as they walk past.
