Etching: Framed; Al Held

Boxes float, circles intersect, and gravity has been asked to wait outside.

Stone Ridge #7 is an etching by Al Held, American, 1928 to 2005, from the United States, about 1984. Held is known for hard-edged geometric abstraction, and prints like this one carried his illusions of deep space from huge canvases to the walls of collectors and institutions. Pale outlined slabs and prisms tilt across a white field, crossed by two green rings and a dark blue grid. Small red, yellow and blue dots and squares sit on top like notes on a staff. It is framed in pale wood under a wide white mat. Forty-seven inches wide and thirty-four and a half high.

Nothing here is where it says it is.
