Signed, inscribed ‘per il poetá’, numbered and with sheet number. – Very isolated, barely visible handling marks; edges slightly yellowed; reverse slightly browned; overall in very good condition and exceptionally fine. A magnificent, high-contrast and wonderfully experimental print of the expressively composed design with an extremely narrow margin. Galfetti 767. – One of only 5 rare proofs for the artist, predating any print run. - Sheet 1 from the 10-part portfolio “Suite 63 x 90”. - Printed by Erker-Presse, St. Gallen. - Published by the same, bearing its blind-stamped mark. - In a bold, expressive style, Tàpies sets the forms against a light background, creating a dynamic interplay between abstraction and figuration. The sweeping, expressive strokes resemble calligraphic marks and suggest movement and spontaneity.
