// Michael Craig-Martin's The Catalan Suite I - Soup Can (2013) is a limited edition etching that distills the iconic form of a soup can into a minimalist composition. Positioned centrally against a stark black background, the can is rendered with clean lines and subtle shading, accompanied by a single yellow dot beneath it and a curved line below, adding a playful, almost abstract quality to the representation. Craig-Martin, known for his use of everyday objects, transforms the banal into an emblem of modern life, stripping it of context and enhancing its symbolic power. This piece exemplifies Craig-Martin’s approach to elevating mundane objects through precise, graphic aesthetics.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
