Description
Poster design for artist and architect Clorindo Testa's 1961 solo exhibition at Galeria Bonino in Buenos Aires, Argentina. An edition of 100 was signed and editioned by the artist, while the posters were printed with typeset text that read "C. TESTA / Galeria Bonino / Maipu 962 / Del 17 Al 29 de Julio, 1961."
In the editioned serigraphs, Testa first printed a pale ivory square of ink that just offsets the cream of the paper, before printing the black and gray image on top.
