Untitled 1962 — Fine Art

Untitled 1962 by Lee Bontecou shows a dark central opening against a lighter ground, with rough cross marks around the edges. The eye moves from the outer ring into the middle shape. The picture leaves open space around the form.

The frame finishes in white, wood, dark wood or black, and the frame edge sits close to the image. For this fine art print, a black frame gives the dark centre a clear border. You get a steady line around the sheet.

Hang it in a study on the wall beside a desk. From the chair you see the dark opening first, then the rough marks. Late light on the paper keeps the grey ground quiet.
