Etching; 60 copies signed and numbered - Plate size: 25 x 29 cm.; artwork size: 40 x 56 cm.; In perfect condition - Published by Galería Toni Tàpies, Barcelona. - Cataloging number: 1194. Listed on page 105 of Tàpies. Graphic work. 1987-1994. Editorial Gustavo Gili. 2009. // Minor VI by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1988, is a limited edition etching with only 60 signed and numbered copies, published by Galería Toni Tàpies in Barcelona. This work features Tàpies' signature abstract expression, blending organic shapes with symbolic markings. The composition reveals layered textures and a palette dominated by dark tones and muted whites, creating a sense of depth and mystery. Two prominent, oval white forms contrast sharply against the darker background, while smaller symbols and line work, including crosses and fragmented text, are scattered across the surface. These abstract markings lend an enigmatic quality to the piece, encouraging viewers to interpret them as remnants of language or signs with deeper meaning. Minor VI exemplifies Tàpies' ability to evoke introspection through abstraction and his exploration of materiality, texture, and the symbolic potential of form.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
