Description
Artist: Richard Serra Title: Heimaey II Medium: Etching on Fabriano Murillo Image Size: 16.75" h x 17.75" w Sheet Size: 23.5" h x 24.25" w Edition: 13/49, published by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles Inscription: Signed, numbered, and dated on front lower margin with artist and publisher blindstamps Year: 1991 Documentation: Gallery Certificate of Authenticity (full record of provenance) Literature: Gemini 1550 "Heimaey II" exemplifies Richard Serra's sustained exploration of form, space, and material presence. The composition presents a bold, abstract black shape against a crisp white background, creating a striking tension between positive and negative space. Its minimalist design invites viewers to engage with the balance and ambiguity inherent in the form, reflecting Serra's broader investigation of physicality and spatial relationships. Though seemingly simple, the etching conveys a powerful sense of mass and volume, encouraging contemplation of presence and absence. This focus on reductive shapes and spatial dynamics is central to Serra's artistic practice. "Heimaey II" was created in 1991 as part of a limited edition of 49 prints on Fabriano Murillo paper. The image measures 16.75 by 17.75 inches, with the full sheet sized at 23.5 by 24.25 inches. This example, etching number 13, was printed by Gemini G.E.L., a distinguished Los Angeles-based print publisher. The piece is signed, numbered, and dated by the artist in the lower margin and bears blindstamps authenticating both Serra and Gemini G.E.L. Accompanied by a gallery certificate of authenticity and full provenance, "Heimaey II" is referenced in relevant literature as Gemini 1550. It distills Serra's sculptural concerns into the intimate scale of printmaking, offering a refined study of form and space from the early 1990s. Note: This piece currently not framed, the images depicting it with a frame are mockups to give you an idea of how it might look when framed.
