Jesús Rafael Soto (Venezuelan, 1923-2005), "Tés azules y negras (de la serie Síntesis)"-1979 silkscreen on Plexiglas with metal rods, verso with label signed "Soto" and limited edition noted as "32/110", published by Editions Denise Rene, Paris. Modern Op art wall sculpture depicting alternating rows of blue and black stripes or lines on plexiglas on elongated rods in front of a field of thin black and white alternating stripes. Overall approximate height 19.6", width 19.7", depth 5.5". Literature: Soto, exh. cat., Palacio de Velázquez del Parque del Retiro, Madrid, 1982, p. 129 (another example illustrated); Soto: The Universality of the Immaterial, exh. cat., Museum of Latin American Art, Long Beach, 2005, p. 62 (another example illustrated).
Some surface scratching throughout--more prevalent on clear Plexiglas panel. Slight bowing to top Plexiglas panel, structurally stable. Small chips to opaque Plexiglas panel in one corner. Disks at base of metal rods missing original pins, resulting in opaque Plexiglas sheet articulating. Under black light examination no apparent repairs.
