17 works

A black and white abstract print featuring a collage of various geometric shapes and architectural forms that resemble a fragmented cityscape. The image has a signature at the bottom right and is numbered at the bottom left, indicating it is part of a limited series. The background is plain white, emphasizing the contrast of the dark structures.
A graphic artwork featuring a stylized black U-turn arrow with a red rectangle at the tip against a bright blue background. The image has a signature at the bottom right and is numbered at the bottom left, indicating it's part of a limited series.
A red lithograph print featuring an abstract profile of a human head in the upper left corner and scattered, expressive brush strokes across the rest of the canvas. The background is a warm, off-white color, and the artwork has a raw, spontaneous quality.
A black and white print featuring two overlapping images of a woman's face and a child, both with somber expressions, overlaid with a large, red, painted 'X'. The artwork includes signatures and edition number at the bottom.
A conceptual artwork featuring a collage of various elements: the upper left shows a textured crescent shape resembling a celestial body next to a ruler, the upper right displays a circular image with a pattern that could be interpreted as a planet or moon surface. Below, a large black rectangle with a white circle cut out is positioned above a smaller rectangle depicting silhouetted figures with elongated shadows, resembling astronauts on a ruler-like surface. The artwork includes signatures and edition number at the bottom.
A conceptual artwork featuring two columns of text with the word "NO" followed by various phrases, printed on what appears to be airmail-style paper strips with red and blue borders, positioned against a white background. The lower strip includes a red postage stamp image and is signed and numbered by the artist.
A black and white abstract lithograph featuring dynamic, gestural lines and shapes that create a sense of movement and chaos. The artwork is numbered 51/100 and signed by the artist, dated '65, in the lower right corner. The paper has a textured appearance with a blank border surrounding the image.
A plain orange book cover with the word "POEMS" printed in small black letters in the center.
A minimalist graphic artwork featuring a bold red curved line across the top and a red diagonal line creating a triangular shape on a white background.
A minimalist abstract print with a peach or light red hue on an off-white paper. The central figure resembles a draped cloth or a flowing form with dynamic lines and curves, suggesting movement. There are inscriptions at the bottom, possibly the artist's signature and edition number.
