500 anys del llibre catala / 500 years of Catalonian books (Galfetti 401). Original color lithograph, 1974. 99 signed & numbered impressions printed by Imprimerie Ediciones La Poligrafa SA, Barcelona and published by Ed. Agrupacio Cientifico-excursionist, Mataro. The title and image also suggest a celebration of 500 years of free Catalonia, but since its conquest by Spain 500 years earlier, Catalonia had not been free in the eyes of many Catalonians. The title, then, would be quite ironic to a Catalonian nationalist like Tàpies, hence the yellow and red bars (the colors of the Catalonian flag) with a big "X" slashing through them. Image size: 760x560mm. Price: Please call or email for current pricing information.

Scotch (Galfetti 393). Original lithograph, 1974. 120 signed & numbered impressions numbered from 1/120-120/120, 40 impressions I/XL-XL/XL, and several signed artist's proofs, of which ours is one. Printed and published by the Erker-Presse in St. Galle, Switzerland on Rives paper. The work suggests a shop window with a notice, held up by Scotch tape, posted on the outside. However, the notice and the marks reflected in the shop glass are not the kind of quick communications that one might expect of public notices. To a pessimist, however, the piece grandly summarizes the effectiveness of written communication in the 20th century. Image size: 770x550mm. Paper size: 900x630mm. Price: Please call or email for current pricing information.

Llibertat / Liberty. Original color lithograph, 1988. Edition: 300 signed and numbered impressions plus 30 artists proofs printed by Galerie Lelong, Paris, for the 1988 Olympic Print Portfolio. The work was never published because the Olympic Portfolio publisher went bankrupt. We have been told by one of the principal creditors that while the prints were in storage awaiting the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings, many of the prints were ruined by water damage. All of our impressions, however, are in excellent condition; at one point we had almost 50 impressions from this edition; we are down to our last 6. Image size: 892x590mm. Price: Please call or email for current pricing information.
