Avant-testo, 22-6-99, 1999

Title (Dublin Core): Avant-testo, 22-6-99, 1999
Description (Dublin Core): A part of the "Avant-testo" series of ballpoint pen calligraphy onto various materials such as canvas, paper, and polyester stretched over a wooden stretcher. Blank did a series of works that were entirely monochromatic done with ballpoint pen onto a surface, usually canvas. The mundane object of a blue ballpoint pen being used to create these large-scale monochromatic works is a maddening thought for the viewer. However, her process only emphasizes the color’s symbolism as a deep and complex infinity.; Source
