Ralston Crawford

Room 85
1957

A black and white abstract etching featuring a series of overlapping geometric shapes and textured patterns. The composition includes rectangles and irregular polygons, with some areas filled in with dense cross-hatching or stippling to create contrast. The artwork is signed by the artist "Robert Crawford" and titled "Room 85" dated 1955, with an edition number indicating it is one of a series. The paper shows natural edges, suggesting it may be a print on high-quality paper.
