Associated Names
Soledad Salamé

Artist, American, born Chile, 1954

This print consists of thin vertical columns and horizontal lines, creating a complex pattern. Large dark shapes resemble industrial structures like chimneys or smokestacks, with the space above them mostly light, like a pale gray sky. The overlapping lines create a texture vaguely similar to that of woven fabric.
