Antoni Tapies (1923-2012) - Les Ciseaux

Exceptional original graphic work by the celebrated Catalan artist Antoni Tàpies (1923–2012), a fundamental reference in informalist and material art at an international level. Title: Les Ciseaux (Las tijeras) Technique: Etching with aquatint and embossing (blind relief) on heavy wove paper, enriched with graphic interventions in black ( pencil/wax). Signed: Hand-signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right corner: tàpies. Edition: Inscribed in the lower right margin as H.C. (Hors Commerce / Outside commerce). Copy reserved for the artist, printer or publisher, outside the numbered commercial edition of 75 copies. Iconography: The scissors constitute one of the most emblematic ordinary symbols in Tàpies’s universe, transforming a workshop object into a powerful tactile and three-dimensional presence thanks to the pronounced relief of the embossing. Condition: Excellent overall condition, with complete margins and untouched edges. Unframed. Published in 1978 by the prestigious Galerie Maeght and printed in Barcelona by master engraver Joan Barbarà, a reference workshop with which Tàpies developed his most complex engraving and embossing projects.
