Lithography and material collage (embossed) on Arches paper.

Numbered specimen 69/100 in the bottom left and signed in pencil by the artist in the bottom right.

The work belongs to Antoni Tàpies' graphic production of 1991 and is characterized by the artist's typical symbolic language, here developed through an essential composition and a strong material exploration. The relief and the particular surface of the paper give the work a strong tactile and plastic presence, elements distinctive of Tàpies' research and his relationship with matter.
