This lot consists of an acrylic painting on board, done in the Art Informel style of Antoni Tapies (Spanish, 1923-2012). This stark image depicts a pool of milky paint and a vibrant red cross, both dropped into the middle of a dark and stormy visual field. This unframed piece measures approximately 13.75" x 9.75".

Antoni Tapies (Spanish, 1923-2012) was born in Barcelona, where he grew up in a world that was saturated with social and cultural experiences. Tapies studied at the German School of Barcelona, where he read the law for three years before devoting his energy entirely to painting. By the end of his illustrious career, Tapies had made an astounding name for himself as a painter, art theorist, and sculptor.
