Screenprint in colors on Arches. Signed, dated and numbered to lower edge. Published by Marlborough Graphics, Inc., New York. Literature: Associated American Artists 48. Figure Eight by Adolph Gottlieb, created in 1967, is a screenprint on Arches paper that highlights his distinct abstract vocabulary rooted in symbolism and gestural expression. Dominated by black forms set against a textured gray background, the composition features a prominent figure-eight shape—an infinity-like loop—positioned among bold, primal marks: a dot, a rectangle, an "X", and splattered ink. These elements convey an emotional immediacy and a sense of universal language, central to Gottlieb's artistic philosophy. Published by Marlborough Graphics and catalogued in Associated American Artists 48, the work reflects the artist’s mature style developed during the height of Abstract Expressionism.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
