The majority of this portrait-oriented canvas is an uninterrupted expanse of matte black. In the bottom third of the canvas, a mixed-media element in shallow relief extends from the left edge. This element appears to have a bumpy, ridged texture in places. There are roughly defined and thinly applied patches of dark yellow-brown paint that appear to overlay the relief element. — Antoni Tàpies

Relief over Black Space , 1958
