Lot Essay

This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Germana Matta Ferrari and dated 16 March 1991 and is registered in the archives under number 66/5.

In 1966 Matta traveled to Minneapolis, Minnesota for the opening of his show at the Walker Art Center. While there, the Minneapolis College of Art and Design hosted Matta for a period of discussions and collaborations with students and faculty. It was at this time that he produced a series of lithographs for the college and also experimented with new media such as oil stick, which he used to create the present work, executed on fiberboard or "beaver board."
