Zao Wou-ki — Untitled (Ågerup 189)

Zao Wou-ki

Untitled (Ågerup 189)

This 1968 etching with aquatint by Zao Wou-ki demonstrates the artist's characteristic abstraction through layered colored printing techniques, combining gestural marks with carefully orchestrated chromatic harmonies. Created at Imprimerie Arte in Paris and published by Al Lublin, the work showcases the refined craftsmanship of mid-century printmaking with its full margins on Rives wove paper. The substantial scale of the image at 450 x 530mm and the limited edition of 95 impressions underscore the work's significance as a considered artistic statement from a period when the artist was synthesizing his experiences between European modernism and abstraction.
