About this work

This is a plain light-beige cover with black text. The words "Donald Baechler" are printed near the top, followed by the title "TANGRAM" in larger letters. At the bottom, small text reads "BARON/BOISANTÉ New York 1990," and there’s a black ribbon tied on the right side. The cover looks simple, but it’s actually for a set of eight prints. The artist used three printing methods—etching, drypoint, and aquatint—to create them. Check out etching to see how artists carve into metal plates to make prints.
