Gina Pane – Abstract composition (1970)

Structure minimal. Impact maximal.

This 1970 color serigraph captures a pivotal moment in Gina Pane’s (1939–1990) artistic trajectory. Before becoming the iconic figurehead of Body Art in France during the following decades, the artist developed a geometric language of remarkable plastic force in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

This “Abstract Composition” bears witness to her rigorous exploration of structure, space, and the interplay of pure forms. The mathematical audacity of the flat colors, where deep ultramarine blue, vivid carmine red, sunny yellow, emerald green, and graphic black engage in dialogue, unfolds in a unique way thanks to the choice of medium. Printed directly on plexiglass, the work plays with translucency, ambient light, and the perception of depth, transforming the serigraph into a true three-dimensional object.

A rare historical collector's piece, hand-signed and numbered by the artist, perfectly embodying the elegance and commitment of the 70s avant-garde.

Studio Cinquante’s take

“There is an immediate resonance between the geometric tension of this serigraph and the iconic design pieces of its decade. It is no coincidence that it finds its perfect balance alongside the organic curves or the sleek, functional silhouettes of 1970s furniture.

We love the vibrancy of its period colors, which have lost none of their brilliance, and this plexiglass medium that captures light without filter. This is exactly what we aim to champion at Studio Cinquante: vintage pieces with a strong historical signature that effortlessly structure the space of a contemporary interior.”
