Exposition Tàpies 1 by Antoni Tàpies is a striking lithograph created in 1983, originally conceived as a poster for Tàpies' exhibition at the Lelong Gallery. The artwork presents an abstract composition dominated by earthy tones of black, beige, and hints of gray, with textures that create a sense of depth and movement. The image features a bold, central form resembling calligraphic strokes or ancient symbols, suggesting Tàpies' interest in layering meanings and materials. Above the main figure, a textured pattern, resembling folded paper or woven fabric, adds contrast and complexity. This lithograph exemplifies Tàpies’ fascination with texture, symbols, and the interplay between materiality and abstraction, inviting viewers to ponder on its possible meanings. Printed on Arches paper, this piece is part of a limited edition of 185 signed and numbered copies, along with additional HC and PA editions. Its historical context as an exhibition poster adds to its cultural significance.
