A black and white abstract print featuring two tall, rectangular shapes with a stark contrast between the black figures and the white background. The left shape has three white rectangles within it, and the right shape has a white square cut out from its upper section. There is a signature and a date in the lower right corner, and a fraction in the lower left corner indicating the print number in a series.
A monochromatic artwork featuring two abstract images on a white background. The upper image is a horizontal, textured smudge with shades of gray, while the lower image shows a minimalistic, horizontal line across a textured field. Both images are framed within their own borders and the piece is numbered and signed at the bottom.
Black and white abstract artwork featuring a central pendulum-like figure with a circular element on the left and a more complex, frayed element on the right, all against a speckled background. The image is framed with a wide white border, which includes the artist's signature and edition number on the bottom right and left corners, respectively.
A black and white abstract print featuring a central cluster of dark, irregular shapes surrounded by a multitude of fine, scratch-like lines on a white background. The print has a rough, pentagonal shape and is signed and dated in the lower right corner.
A black and white abstract print featuring intersecting lines and shapes that create a dynamic composition. The print has a textured appearance with various marks and scratches throughout, suggesting a printmaking process. There is a signature and date in the lower right corner and an edition number in the lower left corner, indicating it is part of a limited series. The paper has a raw, untrimmed edge, adding to the artwork's handmade quality.
A black and white etching of an abstract composition resembling shelves or boxes, with visible sketch lines and cross-hatching, signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner.
A black and white abstract print featuring contrasting textures and geometric shapes. On the left, a detailed wood grain pattern, and on the right, a series of outlined shapes resembling architectural forms on a textured background. The artwork is signed and numbered in pencil on the bottom edge.
A black and white abstract etching with textured patterns and marks on a square piece of paper, signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner, with an edition number in the lower left corner. The artwork is mounted on a white background.
A black and white abstract etching featuring geometric shapes and textured surfaces, with a dark horizontal band at the bottom and a series of vertical lines on the right side, signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner.
