Rattles Vermelles; and Calligraphie Blanche

Rattles Vermelles and Calligraphie Blanche are two works by the celebrated Catalan artist Antoni Tàpies, each bearing his distinctive pencil signature and edition numbers of 71/75 and 31/50 respectively, with Calligraphie Blanche additionally produced in an edition of 10 artist's proofs. Rooted in Tàpies' signature Art Informel aesthetic, these works reflect his profound engagement with texture, materiality, and symbolic mark-making, evoking themes of existence, memory, and the passage of time. Together, they exemplify his mastery of printmaking as a medium for translating his raw, meditative visual language into carefully controlled yet deeply expressive limited editions.
