Etching with aquatint and carborundum on handmade paper // Antoni Tàpies’ 70 is a limited edition print from 1973, created using a combination of etching, aquatint, and carborundum on handmade paper. This mixed-media piece embodies Tàpies’ signature exploration of texture, materiality, and abstraction. The work centers on a rugged, square form with a black, roughened texture and the number “70” prominently displayed. White markings cut across the surface, suggesting movement or a symbolic boundary. Tàpies' use of unconventional materials, such as carborundum, imbues the piece with a tactile, almost sculptural quality, inviting viewers to consider the physical and symbolic weight of the depicted forms.

What is abstract art?
Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
