Opera / Fahlstrom, Oyvind., 1968

 Item
Identifier: CC-13108-13405
Scope and Contents

The loose sheet contains a text by Fahlstrom explaining this series of prints. The black and white prints, each numbered on the right side, are presented in a horizontal, scroll-like fashion. The dark, somber, abstract-expressionist thematic forms depicted in the prints are combined with letters & letter-like characters. Based on a prior work of 1952, Opera might have served as a scenic backdrop for the Wagnerian Ring operas. *WEB 1998: Sharon Avery-Fahlström. This silkscreen print is realized in ten panels with wallpaper-like margins which permit an overlapping installation. The concept was to install the work in a continuous line. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
