Presents Opposition and Sister Squares Reconciled Ex Libris #20 - 20 unique collages. 10 b/w and 10 colored ones - Collage and drawing on black cardboard - Signed - The accompanying Ex Libris is also individually overwritten in white pencil. // Marcel Dzama's Ex Libris, part of his 2011 series Opposition and Sister Squares Reconciled, is a striking mixed media collage on black cardboard. This piece, one of 20 unique works, combines black-and-white imagery with drawn elements, creating a surreal and dynamic composition. The collage depicts a group of female dancers, their movements and postures forming a rhythmic and almost celestial pattern, as if caught mid-performance. The use of white pencil lines adds a sense of motion and connectivity, while the stark contrast of the black background enhances the figures’ ethereal presence. Dzama’s work often explores themes of performance, play, and surrealism, and Ex Libris is no exception, blending these elements to evoke a sense of mystique and elegance.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
