Concrete Art
Asse, Geneviève
Atlantique I. 1993. Drypoint and aquatint in blue on firm, slightly textured vellum. 24.6 x 25.2 cm (57 x 38 cm). Signed, dated and inscribed ‘H.C.’. Mounted in places on backing paper. - Very light dusting in places; small pencil annotation on the reverse; overall in very good condition and exceptionally beautiful. An excellent print made from two copper plates arranged side by side with a narrow gap between them, featuring clearly embossed plate edges and a wide margin, with the scoop edge at the top and bottom.
Mason 177. – A hors de commerce copy outside the print run. – Asse grew up on the French Atlantic coast, on the Rhuys Peninsula, and from the 1960s onwards continually incorporated the blue of her childhood into her compositions. Equally characteristic in her depictions is a vertical line—sometimes wider, sometimes narrower—which, like a strip opening up on the horizon, evocatively suggests the infinity of the coast.
Drypoint and aquatint in blue on strong, slightly textured wove paper. Signed and marked ‘H.C.’. Spot-mounted to an underlying mat. – Isolated, barely dusted; small pencil annotation on the reverse; all in all, very good and impeccably presented. A superb impression from two copper plates, arranged side by side with a small gap between them, featuring clearly defined plate marks and a wide margin, with deckle edges at the top and bottom. – A ‘hors de commerce’ copy, separate from the edition. - Asse grew up on the French Atlantic coast, on the Rhuys Peninsula, and from the 1960s onwards she continually incorporated the blue of her childhood into her works. Equally characteristic of her depictions is a vertical line – sometimes wider, sometimes narrower – which, like a strip of open sky on the horizon, evokes the infinity of the coast.
