Square Print Appraisal

Abstract Geometric Square-in-Square Print

This item is an abstract geometric print featuring a series of concentric squares, presented within a silver-toned metal frame. The artwork itself depicts a central dark grey square, surrounded by successively larger squares in varying shades of yellow and light green, creating a visual effect of receding or advancing planes. The outermost square, serving as the background for the central composition, appears to be a light, muted yellow or chartreuse. The colors are solid and flat, characteristic of hard-edge abstraction or color field painting, or minimalist art movements. The frame is a simple, slender silver-colored metal, likely aluminum or chrome, with mitered corners. It appears to hold a piece of glass or acrylic glazing over the print, which causes some reflections visible in the image, obscuring minor details of the print's surface. The overall dimensions are difficult to ascertain from the image, but it appears to be a moderately sized piece, suitable for a wall hanging in a residential or office setting. There are no visible condition issues with the print itself; however, the frame shows a slight sheen consistent with standard wear for a metal frame. No artist's signature, edition number, or specific manufacturing marks are discernible from the provided image. The style suggests it could be from the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1960s or 1970s, making it potentially vintage. The simplicity of the design and the clean lines indicate good craftsmanship, typical of mass-produced decorative art prints from that era, or potentially a limited edition serigraph. The quality of the print appears to be good, with crisp edges between the color blocks.
