Color etching and aquatint with carborundum // Roig I Negre 2 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1985, is a powerful mixed media work combining color etching, aquatint, and carborundum. The piece, part of a limited edition of 99 plus 15 artist’s proofs (HC), showcases Tàpies' signature abstract expressionist style. The composition features bold black and red gestural forms that dominate the space, layered over a textured, rough background. The swirling and sharp brushstrokes create a dynamic contrast between the deep black and earthy red, evoking a sense of movement and energy. The carborundum technique enhances the texture, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality, characteristic of Tàpies' work. The piece reflects his interest in materiality and the physicality of the painting process, transforming simple colors into a rich and evocative visual experience.

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.
