DescriptionThis vertically oriented color print is an arrangement of semi-abstract patterns, colors, and shapes. Three shapes like halves of vessels are lined up across the bottom half with pattern background behind them. Two loosely vessel-like shapes stand in the top half. A gray and white pattern extends across two thirds of the top right edge of the print.Exhibition HistoryProvenance
