Color lithograph on BFK Rives. Bibliography: HOMS, Nuria: Tàpies obra gráfica 1979-1986. Gustavo Gili. Barcelona, 2002. Page 189. Cat. No. 963. Rep. B/W. // Main sur tete centres on a dense black field across which Tapies scrawls urgent strokes of white and ochre, conjuring a fugitive head crossed by his recurring signs, X-marks and crosses. Earthy ochre washes seep beyond the black rectangle onto the bare paper, while flashes of red and black calligraphic marks scatter to the edges. Raw, gestural and deeply physical, it embodies the Catalan master's vocabulary of matter, sign and the human body. A colour lithograph on BFK Rives, it carries the gravity and tactile presence that made Tapies one of Europe's most revered postwar artists.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
