Signed and numbered by the artist. Published by Erker-Presse St. Gallen, with their dry stamp. Catalogue #: 246 Antoni Tàpies’ Diana (1973) is a dynamic and gestural lithograph that embodies his signature fusion of abstraction, materiality, and symbolism. The composition features a bold red and black circular target-like motif, layered with expressive scribbles, cryptic text, and gestural brushstrokes. The intersecting diagonal bands and radiating concentric circles create a sense of movement and tension, drawing the viewer into its chaotic yet structured energy. The raw textures, dripping paint, and Tàpies’ characteristic use of earthy tones reflect his deep engagement with the physicality of materials and the expressive power of mark-making. Part of a limited edition of 100 plus artist proofs, and catalogued as 246, Diana is a testament to Tàpies’ ability to merge gestural abstraction with deep philosophical and symbolic undertones, encouraging contemplation on language, matter, and perception.

What is matter painting?
Matter painting is a technique that involves blending thick impasto paints with materials like cement, mud, sand, or shells. The term first emerged in the 1950s to describe the works of Belgian and Dutch painters who explored the physical properties of painting materials and the different ways paint could be manipulated. This approach emphasizes texture and the tactile qualities of the surface, creating a sculptural effect on the canvas.
