About this work
Overview
Silvia Buonvicini’s 2017 untitled relief print is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection. Executed on a white ground, the work consists of dense networks of black lines that interweave to form abstract, highly detailed configurations.
Technique & Style
The piece employs a relief printing process, allowing the artist to carve fine, delicate lines into the matrix. These slender strokes generate a sense of fragility, while their intricate curvature creates a layered visual depth that invites close inspection.
Subject & Meaning
Absent a representational subject, the composition relies on the interplay of line and space to suggest complexity. The tangled forms can be read as an exploration of pattern and movement, encouraging viewers to contemplate the multiple layers embedded within the abstract field.
History & Provenance
Created in 2017, the work entered the Museum of Modern Art’s holdings as part of its contemporary print acquisition program. Its inclusion reflects the institution’s interest in documenting recent developments in printmaking and the practice of artists such as Buonvicini.
