// Antoni Tàpies’ La Grande Grise is a striking lithograph from 1968 that exemplifies his signature abstract and textured style. The artwork, rendered in a monochromatic palette dominated by various shades of gray and black, creates a powerful visual impact. The composition is a blend of rough, gestural strokes and symbolic markings, incorporating scratches and graffiti-like elements that convey a sense of raw expression. Tàpies often explored themes of materiality and the passage of time, and this piece reflects his interest in transforming everyday textures into profound visual language. Measuring 153 x 104 cm, this large-scale work immerses viewers in its atmospheric, almost meditative quality, inviting contemplation of its mysterious and layered surfaces. Part of a limited edition of 75, it showcases Tàpies’ exploration of the intersection between painting and printmaking.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
