Limited edition, untitled aquatint numbered 2 of 80 and signed in pencil by Italian artist Piero Dorazio (1927-2005) with an embossed certification stamp by Erker Presse, St. Gallen. Dorazio was an enthusiastic follower of the color field movement, and his exciting series of saturated color ribbons emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He is featured in the Museum of Modern Art and drew on the same concepts for his 1972 and 1984 Olympics posters. Abstraction's power, he believed, lay in the ability of color and light to communicate universally. This print's silver-tone metal frame has only a couple small marks and measures 29" W x 21" H x 0.75" D, with the 27.5" x 19.5" print mounted under glass.
