Marrakesh

A warm red-brown cast-paper form rises through a stepped sequence of widening and narrowing trapezoids.

The archived image filename used the spelling Marakkesh. The catalogue and Luhring Augustine use Marrakesh, which is retained as the canonical public title. The gallery independently confirms the same title, date, medium, dimensions, and an edition of five; the photographed documented impression is not numbered in the available evidence.

The object appears warm red-brown in the archival photograph, but the available object evidence does not name a pigment. A recent Luhring Augustine exhibition text connects the work’s texture and pigment broadly to memories of place, architecture, or geological strata; it does not establish a specific Marrakesh site or travel episode, so none is invented here.
