Geometric Art Print Appraisal

Abstract Geometric Serigraph, 'Sojourn'

This item is an framed abstract geometric serigraph, titled 'Sojourn', by an artist named R. Stephan, created in 1987. The artwork is characterized by its soft, pastel color palette, primarily featuring shades of light blue, peach, pink, and hints of pale green and lavender against a light, possibly off-white, background. The composition consists of curvilinear and angular forms that interlock and overlap, creating a sense of depth and movement. Notable features include flowing, ribbon-like elements in peach and red-orange that weave through the design, and large, soft blue and gray geometric shapes. There are also delicate, scattered white dots in a cluster towards the upper right of the central image, adding a subtle textural contrast. The print is signed and dated by the artist, 'R. Stephan 1987', in the lower right corner, and below the central image, it is titled 'Sojourn'. An edition number '41/90' is visible in the lower left corner, indicating it is an original print from a limited edition of 90. The artwork is presented under glass, which shows some reflections and minor dust specks on the surface, making it difficult to assess the exact condition of the print itself, though no obvious damage or discoloration is apparent from the image. It is housed within a simple, white, double-matted frame, which complements the artwork's minimalist aesthetic and suggests a contemporary framing choice. The style period is distinctly late 20th century, specifically late 1980s, reflecting the era's leanings towards abstract and geometric art, often with a softened color approach. The craftsmanship appears clean and precise, typical of high-quality serigraphy, with crisp edges and smooth color transitions.
