About this artwork
This monoprint was not included in Gabo’s portfolio Twelve Monoprinted Wood Engravings,conceived in 1976; but produced posthumously, and therefore has no opus number. It is the only woodblock print that Gabo signed in the block. This work and another with the same title, Untitled (Curved Form), are the only two recorded impressions of this monoprint. It is sometimes dated to the 1970s but may date back as early as 1950.
