About this work
Overview
Created in 1962 by Slovenian artist Riko Debenjak, this untitled work is a print that combines aquatint with collage elements. Executed in both black and color, the piece is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Its abstract composition invites close inspection of the interplay between printed surface and attached materials.
Technique & Style
The image presents a dark, irregular silhouette whose interior is filled with a yellow‑brown tone. A thin, vivid red line bisects the shape vertically, while small metallic or wire fragments protrude outward like spikes. The perimeter appears ragged, suggesting a torn edge, and the entire composition rests against a deep background framed by a thin white border.
History & Provenance
Since its creation, the work has remained in the Museum of Modern Art’s collection, where it is displayed as part of the institution’s holdings of post‑war European prints. The piece has not been exhibited widely outside the museum, and no further ownership changes have been recorded.
