AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Main characteristics of the work:
- Jorrit Tornquist (1938–2023) - “Untitled” - 1972 - Acrylic on paper mounted on board - 20×20 cm, 46×46×5.5 cm with frame - Signature, year and artist's label with archival number 1972-0045 on the back - Work accompanied by a certificate of provenance and authenticity.

Work belonging to the geometric abstraction and color-perception research movement. Style: Abstract

A refined and striking work, built on a light surface crossed by an orderly sequence of small white dots and two different shades of green. Up close, each dot reveals a tiny central cavity, a precious detail that makes the surface even more vibrant, tactile, and perceptive.

Jorrit Tornquist's painting activity focuses on color as a visual, luminous, and mental experience. In this 1972 work, the artist's investigation appears fully recognizable: rhythm, light, tonal variation, and geometric control fuse into an essential, silent image of extraordinary presence.

Created in 1972. The signature, the year and the artist's label with archival number 1972-0045 on the back are very important documentary elements and make the work particularly interesting for the collector.

Jorrit Tornquist, born in Graz in 1938 and who died in Cisano Bergamasco in 2023, was one of the most important European interpreters of color research. His inquiry can be likened, for rigor and attention to visual perception, to the experiences of Josef Albers, Victor Vasarely, Jesús Rafael Soto, and François Morellet, while maintaining an autonomous and personal voice.

The work is presented in a deep white frame, with protective glass, which enhances its luminous, clean, and contemporary character. The color rendering and the perception of details may vary slightly depending on the screen used and the presence of protective glass; in person the work retains its full visual presence.

The buyer will receive the work in careful, sturdy packaging. Very fast shipping.
