Specialist note

In his introduction to the catalogue raisonné of Eduardo Chillida’s prints, Martin van der Koelen describes the Inguru series as marking a transition from a looser abstraction towards a greater degree of structure in his graphic work. This is apparent in the use of borders at the edges of the rectangular plates, which, although interrupted in places, frame the more intuitive internal structures of lines and shapes. This gives the strong sense of visual stability so characteristic of the artist’s oeuvre from this point.
