Relief print from letterpress plate on Italian mould-made Revere paper - Signed and numbered on the front //Julie Mehretu's 'Sapphic Strophe 1' is a relief print from her 2011 suite 'Sapphic Strophes', blending abstraction with the energy of gestural mark-making. The artwork features a dynamic arrangement of fine, linear marks on a stark white background, evoking a sense of rhythm and movement akin to poetry in visual form. The delicate, layered strokes seem to reference fragmented scripts or maps, inviting interpretations of language, geography, and identity. The minimalistic yet profound composition reflects Mehretu's interest in the intersection of personal and collective histories. Signed and numbered, the work showcases her meticulous craftsmanship and conceptual depth.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
