AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This expressive original lithograph by Jan Schoonhoven from 1988 shows a dynamic, abstract composition in black and white.

Signed in pencil by Jan Schoonhoven at the bottom right and dated. At the bottom left numbered, from a limited edition of only 40 copies. In the center below the image, in pencil, titled “XXV.”

About the artwork
Bold, gestural brushstrokes alternate with fine, sketchy lines. The numerous overlapping movements create a dense web of black forms, while the light spaces of the composition lend it a particular liveliness.

Unlike Schoonhoven's well-known, strictly geometric white reliefs, this lithograph reveals a decidedly free and expressive side of his artistic work.

This signed lithograph was created in 1988 as part of the renowned print portfolio “Delft Grafiek.”

Framing:
The work is professionally framed in a custom-made, handcrafted brown wooden frame with Plexiglas Optical HC. This high-quality museum framing provides optimal UV protection, high scratch resistance, and minimal reflections.
The framed format is approximately 58 x 68 cm

About the artist:
Jan Schoonhoven (1914–1994) ranks among the most important Dutch artists of the European post-war avant-garde. As a co-founder of the Dutch Nul group, he was closely connected with the international ideas of the ZERO movement. Schoonhoven became known especially for his monochrome white reliefs and his consistent engagement with grid, rhythm, repetition, light, and structure. Also in his works on paper and his graphic prints, he translated these principles into a precise, unmistakable visual language.

His works enjoy worldwide esteem among collectors of ZERO art, Minimalism, and the postwar avant-garde. Works by Jan Schoonhoven are held in the collections of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (Kunstmuseum Den Haag), and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York.
