Ulleres negres i oli holds a significant place in Tàpies' oeuvre, highlighting his innovative use of materials and his continuous challenge to traditional notions of painting.

This artwork is a captivating addition to any collection, resonating with the raw, expressive power that defines Antoni Tàpies' creative vision.
