Geometric Abstract Serigraph by Aaron De Angeli, 1975

This is a 20th-century geometric abstract print on heavy white paper, likely a serigraph or screenprint, dated 1975. The composition features a bold interaction of teal and magenta diagonal and rectilinear bands that form a centralized, interlocking square frame. Notably, the artist's original pencil guidelines and layout marks are visible surrounding the blocks of color, suggesting either a working proof or an intentional exposure of the technical process. The piece is hand-signed in the lower right corner by 'Aaron De Angeli' and dated '11/75'. Physically, the artwork shows significant condition issues including multiple creases across the lower third, visible surface smudging, and handling marks (foxing/soiling) along the margins. The edges are uneven, with the bottom margin showing severe tearing and deterioration where it rests on a secondary, aged backing sheet. Despite these issues, the ink remains vibrant with sharp registration typical of mid-century minimalist and hard-edge geometric styles common in the 1970s art market.
