Specialist note

Serra completed a series of 13 etchings titled Junction with Gemini, G.E.L. in 2010. This series presents a surprisingly playful and expressive spirit that is typically absent not only in the artist's printmaking but in his drawing and sculptural works.
Using molten Paintstik, Serra's signature medium of choice, he drew each of the thirteen images directly onto a mylar sheet. That image was then transferred to an etching plate, which delivered the rich, saturated and highly textured surface onto creamy, beige-colored paper.
