// Ohne Titel by Mario Merz is a lithograph that showcases the artist's signature use of organic forms and numerical elements, often linked to the Fibonacci sequence, which Merz explored as a metaphor for natural growth patterns. The image is dominated by a large, irregular oval shape filled with intricate, web-like lines. Inside, numbered circles connected by lines create a sense of structure within the seemingly chaotic composition, suggesting a scientific or mathematical approach to understanding life forms. The monochromatic palette accentuates the piece’s analytical feel, reminiscent of anatomical or technical drawings. With an edition of 150, this limited print underscores Merz's fascination with the intersection of art, science, and nature.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
