Etching; 75 copies; Perfect condition; // Cartró by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1977, is a limited edition etching with an edition of 75 copies. This piece exemplifies Tàpies' exploration of texture and abstraction, using a restrained palette of earthy tones and soft contrasts. The composition is dominated by a large, irregular shape in muted brown, which appears almost like a shadow or fragment of terrain. Above this central form, a black rectangular strip with abstract crosshatched lines and markings is suspended, creating a layered effect. Small touches, such as faint smudges and muted shapes, add depth and subtle detail, while two vertical lines in beige seem to support the black strip, reminiscent of a collage or assemblage. The artwork invites contemplation on materiality and space, as Tàpies merges abstract forms with an architectural sense of structure and balance.

What is the Zero Movement?
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
