Label TextWhen Minimalism began to influence Antreasian's work in the 1970s he incorporated autobiography into his designs. This print is one from a series that reflects on his Armenian roots, and the influence of Islamic design in that culture's Christian history. Antreasian named paintings and prints for eastern art centers, many in Armenia and Turkey. This piece is named for a village of Andhra Pradesh in India famed for its gold mines.ProvenanceGaro Z.
