Grey Pipe 1981

"Grey Pipe" is a 1981 screenprint by British artist Patrick Caulfield (1936-2005), known for his simplified, graphic style. This artwork, reminiscent of Pop Art and Minimalism, showcases Caulfield's signature use of bold colors and flattened forms. The composition features a black pipe, stylized and detached from its surroundings, resting within a black bowl against a grey background. This minimal approach, with its stark contrasts and graphic elements, reflects Caulfield's interest in everyday objects and their transformation into artistic subjects.
