A colorful pop art style print featuring a repeated image of a person's profile in various overlapping colors, reminiscent of Andy Warhol's silkscreen prints. The artwork includes elements of film negatives around the borders and is signed and numbered at the bottom.
A sketch of two rectangular windows side by side with green frames on a white background. The window on the left has intact panes, while the one on the right has shattered glass with sharp pieces pointing inward. Below both windows are rough pencil sketches of shrubbery, and the image is signed by the artist in the lower corners.
A simple black triangle centered on a white background with handwritten text and numbers at the bottom edge, possibly indicating the title, edition, or artist's signature.
Black and white print featuring a collage of women's portraits with "Rosa Luxemburg" written below.
An abstract etching featuring geometric shapes and textures. The central image shows a fractured rectangle with tree-like forms inside, above layered shapes resembling a landscape. To the left, there are three pairs of vertical rectangles, and to the right, a series of dots. Below, two arrows point in opposite directions. The artwork is numbered and signed at the bottom.
A collage of various images and textures including geometric patterns, a red puzzle piece section, a figure of a dancer, and architectural elements. The artwork features a mix of colors and black and white sections, with some areas appearing faded or overlaid with other images. The bottom right corner contains a signature and edition number.
A textured green square with faint, embossed spiral patterns centered on a larger white background. The green square has rough, uneven edges, and there are small inscriptions in the lower left and right corners on the white background.
