This is a work of extraordinary subtlety, precision and rarity. The combination of the intersecting lines and concentric patterns the make up the design recall Kandinsky’s earlier works that use the circle to frame the chaotic rendering of time and space as part of the artistic process. As recently as 2016, this pochoir sold from 3000-3500 Euros in a European auction house.
