1981.12.1Description
D. Beige from the Logo Suite. The background is beige with a raised square in the center. The square is made up of two vertical rectangles. The right rectangle is missing a portion of its bottom right corner. This portion that is missing is also rectangular in shape. The bottom of each rectangle has a raised letter "L", which is the highest raised area of this piece. The letters "L" are each turned 90 degrees, one clockwise the outer counterclockwise, but are adjacent/touching at the vertical stroke of the letter "L". From the L shapes going upward, the raised form is slanted like a hill. The rectangles are
layered with colors with the bottom layer a light purple and on top diagonal lines from the upper left going toward the bottom right in a dark blue, black, and green. There is a visible grid that seems to peek through the colors. Print 67/75 Signed R. Smith 71 in the bottom left corner in pencil.
"The series is lettered through from A-K simply for purposes of identification. The order in which the prints are listed is arbitrary, and not the order in which they were conceived. The letter I is omitted from the sequence in order to avoid confusion with the first Roman numeral." From the Tate Webster.Collection
