Etching with aquatint and carborundum on handmade paper // Antoni Tàpies’ 70 is a limited edition print from 1973, created using a combination of etching, aquatint, and carborundum on handmade paper. This mixed-media piece embodies Tàpies’ signature exploration of texture, materiality, and abstraction. The work centers on a rugged, square form with a black, roughened texture and the number “70” prominently displayed. White markings cut across the surface, suggesting movement or a symbolic boundary. Tàpies' use of unconventional materials, such as carborundum, imbues the piece with a tactile, almost sculptural quality, inviting viewers to consider the physical and symbolic weight of the depicted forms.

What is Art Informel?
Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
