Salvador Fugal Appraisal

Mixed Media Abstract Artwork 'Mono Nimrod' by Salvador Fugal

The item is a framed mixed media abstract artwork, likely a print enhanced with additional techniques, featuring a signature that appears to read 'Salvador Fugal' along with inscribed text 'MONO NIMROD'. The artwork itself is composed of various textured layers, primarily in shades of blue, white, gray, and brown, with accents of teal or light green. The upper portion of the visible artwork has a heavily textured, almost stucco-like appearance in light blue and white, with irregular, torn edges suggesting a collage or chine-collé technique. Below this, there's a light gray band, also with a deckled or torn edge, upon which 'MONO NIMROD' is handwritten in black ink, followed by the artist's signature. Further down, there are angular geometric shapes in varying tones of gray and brown, possibly indicating depth or architectural elements, transitioning into a lighter-colored mat or border. The overall composition suggests a modernist or abstract style. The piece is presented under glass within a frame, a portion of which is visible on the right, appearing to be a light-colored, possibly off-white or beige, wooden or composite frame. The visible condition suggests some reflections on the glass, but the artwork itself appears to be in good condition, protected by the framing. The textured surfaces indicate a tactile quality, and the layering demonstrates a multi-step creative process, potentially combining printmaking with hand-applied elements. The uneven edges of the paper elements add to the artistic and handcrafted aesthetic. The inscription 'MONO NIMROD' could refer to a series, a title, or a specific technical detail (e.g., 'monotype' combined with 'Nimrod').
