Virgil William Grotfeldt

Untitled V
1997

A vintage, lined paper with handwritten text and a date from 1933, overlaid with a brown-toned abstract ink drawing that resembles a plant or organic form. The drawing's fluid lines and shapes create a sense of movement, and the ink has bled into the paper, giving the artwork a weathered appearance. The page is numbered 210 at the top left corner.
