Collaged Wall VI (for Arthur Berger)
1986
A dynamic interplay of torn and pasted papers layered with bold acrylic paint creates a richly textured composition that balances spontaneity with deliberate formal tension. Motherwell's signature use of collage integrates fragmented printed and colored papers into a unified surface, where gestural marks and geometric forms coexist in expressive harmony. The work reflects his deep engagement with both the physical act of making and the intellectual traditions of European modernism.
