Antoni Tàpies

Llambrec 5, 1975

From the series Llambrec Material, a collaboration with the poet Shuzo Takiguchi.

This variant of Llambrec 5 is printed "sobre paper d'estrassa". As Debroah Wye notes, this thick brown paper is 'warm-toned, tan-colored Catalan estrassa paper used by butchers to wrap meat, it exhibits a coarse texture with a pronounced weave and many irregularities in the fibers...". Deborah Wye, Antoni Tàpies in print (New York: Museum of Modern Art, 1991), pge 49.
