Editor: So, this is an untitled print by Gabriel Orozco. It's quite small and abstract. The tones are muted. What do you notice about its composition? Curator: The image’s central placement within the larger frame draws attention to its form. The contrast between light and dark values creates a dynamic interplay, guiding the eye. The texture also seems to invite closer inspection. Editor: Do you think the texture is the most important thing here? Curator: The textural quality is, in my view, essential. It invites us to consider the material properties of the print itself, and to question what it represents. Editor: That’s a very interesting point! Curator: Indeed, this piece is a very good demonstration of abstraction in contemporary art.

This is one of a suite of twelve prints in a portfolio entitled Polvo Impreso meaning ‘printed dust’. The images were created by pressing layers of lint onto soft ground etching plates and printing the resulting texture, using the chine collé technique, onto natural Gampi (a very thin paper) laid on Fabriano Tiepolo paper. The portfolio was printed by Jacob Samuel, Santa Monica, USA and published by the artist and Editions & Artists’ Books Johan Deumens, Heemstede, the Netherlands. Tate’s copy is the twenty-second in the edition of twenty-five plus seven sets of artist’s proofs. Ten copies are bound books; the remaining fifteen are in loose portfolios, presented in a box. Tate’s is one of the loose portfolios.
