Untitled
1973

A monochromatic abstract artwork featuring a vertical gradient of black to gray with a central lighter area that resembles a beam of light descending into a darker space. The texture appears grainy and speckled, especially towards the bottom where the light seems to dissipate. The artist's signature is visible in the lower left corner.
