Etching, aquatint and soft varnish. Arc i creu (1982) by Antoni Tàpies is a compelling etching and aquatint with soft varnish, where gestural abstraction meets symbolic intensity. A heavy black arc dominates the composition, intersected by a bold cross-like form, suggestive of metaphysical or spiritual resonance. The background features loose washes of ochre and ink, juxtaposed with finer linear markings. Tàpies' signature raw texture and expressive mark-making convey themes of matter, silence, and resistance. Produced in an edition of 99, this work exemplifies the Catalan artist’s unique fusion of material experimentation and meditative symbolism.

What is Arte Povera?
A movement and style in art that originated in Italy during the 1960s. It integrates elements of minimalism, performance art, and conceptual art by using everyday or seemingly worthless materials, such as newspapers, stones, or rags. The goal was to challenge and subvert the commercialization of art.
