Pierre Alechinsky — Le bleu des fonds
Pierre Alechinsky

Le bleu des fonds

Le bleu des fonds is a captivating set of three color etchings by Belgian CoBrA artist Pierre Alechinsky, printed on Arches paper and notable for their vibrant, gestural quality. One etching is uniquely encased in a transparent polyester cylinder, while the works are bound to a cork book cover with rope, accompanied by a text by poet Joyce Mansour. The result is a richly tactile and multidisciplinary artist's book that blurs the boundaries between printmaking, sculpture, and literature.
