THE ARTWORK
In L 1970 - 2, Hans Hartung concentrates a network of fine marks within an almost entirely black field. A short light line crosses the lower area, introducing a point of orientation.
The lithograph calls for a gaze that adjusts to the surface’s minimal differences. Traces emerge and disappear within darkness, transforming black into an articulated space of tensions and small movements rather than a uniform field.
