Label Text:
Lift-red , from 1976/77, represents a crucial phase in Berthot’s early investigations into a range of formalist issues: the relation between figure and ground, the flat surface of paint on canvas versus the representation of depth, the use of color to create space, shape, balance, and contrast.
