Jean Baier (1932–1999) - Composition

A fascinating work by the Swiss artist Jean Baier (1932–1999): “Composition” — a silkscreen print on silver foil, signed and numbered.

The work captivates with its clear geometric abstraction, the typical color and form contrasts, and the precise, almost architectural composition for which Baier is known. The glossy foil surface lends the sheet a special depth and a modern, metallic effect that enhances the interplay of light and color. Condition as shown in the photos. Edge defects and missing pieces are present.

The artwork measures approximately 84 × 59 cm, is in good condition, and is ideal for collectors of contemporary prints or as a decorative highlight in modern interiors. The edition (signed and numbered) guarantees its authenticity and makes the print a highly sought-after collector's item.

An exceptional example of Baier's combination of geometric rigor, abstract composition and innovative choice of materials — a work that unites timeless modernity and artistic precision.

Brief description of the artist

Jean Baier was a Swiss artist whose work was strongly influenced by geometric abstraction. Originally trained as a mechanic, he applied his technical precision to painting, screen prints, and experimental works. He frequently worked with unconventional materials such as foil, metal, or aluminum, giving his works a distinctive, industrially clear character.

Baier's compositions are characterized by reduced forms, clear lines, and a strict, harmonious structure. His works combine design clarity with a subtle dynamism, making them effective both as collectible prints and as independent works of art.
