Fil du Temps

"Fil du Temps" is a colored etching created by the renowned Lebanese American artist Etel Adnan in 2021, published by the prestigious Parisian gallery Lelong & Co. in an edition of 100 impressions on Arches paper. This work carries particular poignancy as Adnan passed away before completing her signature on the entire edition, prompting the publisher to use a printed facsimile of her signature for later impressions. The print exemplifies Adnan's distinctive visual language, rendered in vibrant colors and presented in its original orange presentation box with full margins and unframed condition.
