Name/Title
Black Madonna of MontserratEntry/Object ID
2017.2.25Description
During a visit to Montserrat in 2002, Roman visited a museum where he saw a minimal version of the "Black Madonna" drawin by Subirachs. Inspired by this experience, he thought of a possible algorithmic Black Madonna. Later that year, while experimenting with a coded sequence, he saw his algorithmic "Black Madonna" emerge in this drawing.
In 2003 he made two versions, one for Saint Vincent Archabbey, and the other as a gift to the Abbey of Montserrat. The Vistoria and Albert Museum in London also acquired a Verostko Black Madonna, which matches the size of it's 11th century print of the Black Madonna of Einsiedeln in Switzerland.
