Ligne Indéterminée
1990
Bernar Venet's exploration of mathematical and industrial concepts finds elegant expression in this 1990 screenprint, part of his broader investigation into line as both geometric form and philosophical concept. Executed in colors on Rives BFK paper, the work exemplifies the French conceptual artist's systematic approach to eliminating subjective gesture in favor of predetermined systems. Number 17 from an edition of 75, this piece demonstrates Venet's mastery of printmaking techniques in service of his rigorous conceptual framework.

François Morellet
French · b. 1926
Morellet created screenprints and geometric works using systematic, rule-based line configurations that eliminate subjective gesture, directly paralleling Venet's mathematical approach to indeterminate and predetermined linear forms.
Sol LeWitt
American · b. 1928
LeWitt's graphic works and prints use rigorously defined geometric line systems executed through predetermined conceptual instructions, sharing Venet's commitment to systematic abstraction over expressive mark making in black and geometric configurations.
Ellsworth Kelly
American · b. 1923
Kelly's screenprints on BFK Rives paper featuring bold geometric line forms in restrained color palettes closely mirror the material and visual language of this Venet print, sharing the same minimalist reduction of line to its essential conceptual presence.
