This rare large-format drawing by Swiss artist Emil Schwarz (1944–2012) embodies the refined minimalism and intellectual precision that make his works increasingly sought after by collectors, architects, and interior designers of distinction.
Executed in pencil on paper, the composition unfolds as an intricate network of intersecting lines, at once recalling architectural blueprints, modernist urban grids, and the lyrical abstraction of postwar Europe. What appears simple at first glance reveals a layered construction of rhythm, proportion, and tension, transforming drawing into both process and finished artwork.
For connoisseurs of postwar abstraction, Concrete Art, and Swiss modernism, this hand-signed piece is more than a work on paper: it is a collector-grade acquisition, equally suited to museum-quality collections as to curated interiors where timeless elegance and intellectual rigor are paramount.
