Harry Bertoia

c. 1970

A vibrant and gestural monotype in colors, this work by Harry Bertoia showcases his intuitive exploration of form and movement on delicate rice paper. Known primarily as a sculptor and sound artist, Bertoia brought the same experimental sensibility to his printmaking, allowing pigment to spread and merge in organic, abstract configurations. The full margins of the rice paper enhance the sense of openness and breath within the composition, reflecting his lifelong fascination with the intersection of art, nature, and sound.
