Aquatint on Rives BFK - Signed, dated and numbered in pencil // Richard Diebenkorn, Sugarlift Spade is a 1982 aquatint printed on Rives BFK paper. This abstract composition, rendered in black and white, features bold, organic shapes that curve and overlap within a square frame. The central figure resembles a spade, created with flowing, irregular forms, and areas of negative space. The use of the sugarlift aquatint technique adds texture and depth to the image, with subtle variations in tone and surface. The bold contrast between the dark and light areas emphasizes the interplay between form and void, a hallmark of Diebenkorn’s explorations in abstraction. Hand-signed, dated, and numbered by the artist in pencil, this limited-edition print is an example of Diebenkorn's distinctive approach to printmaking, where simplicity of form meets complexity in execution.

What is abstract expressionism?
Artwork by Helen Frankenthaler

What is abstract expressionism?

Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
