Embrace the Rhythm of Geometry with Lygia Pape’s 1961 Masterpiece
Experience a defining moment of Brazilian Neo-Concretism with this museum-quality reproduction of Lygia Pape’s Book of Time (Livro do Tempo, 1961). Originally conceived as a series of 365 unique wood reliefs—one for every day of the year—this work represents a sophisticated exploration of color, shadow, and modular form. This 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) framed art print captures the rhythmic precision and sensory depth that made Pape a central figure in the movement that moved away from rigid rationalism toward subjective, lived experience.
Archival Quality Meets Sophisticated Curation
At RedKalion, we believe fine art deserves an enduring presentation. This print is rendered on 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white archival paper. The matte, uncoated finish eliminates glare, allowing the subtle nuances of Pape’s geometric compositions to be appreciated from any angle. Each piece is encased in a premium black wooden frame, crafted from responsibly sourced oak or ash. With a 20mm profile, these frames provide a more substantial and luxurious presence than standard 14mm gallery frames, ensuring your investment remains a focal point for decades.

What is the historical significance of Lygia Pape’s Book of Time (1961)?
Lygia Pape’s Book of Time (Livro do Tempo) is a foundational Neo-Concrete work. It consists of 365 reliefs representing the days of the year, exploring the subjectivity of time through geometric abstraction and color theory, bridging the gap between mathematical logic and sensory human experience.
What are the specifications of the archival paper used for this print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white paper with a matte, uncoated finish. At 0.29 mm thick, this archival museum-quality paper is designed to resist yellowing and preserve the vibrant integrity of the fine art print for generations.
How is the framed art print protected during shipping and on the wall?
Each print is protected by shatterproof plexiglass, which is safer and more durable than standard glass. For shipping, we utilize robust, protective packaging to ensure your Lygia Pape masterpiece arrives in pristine, ready-to-hang condition.
Is the wood used for the frame sustainably sourced?
Yes. RedKalion uses FSC-certified or equivalent responsibly sourced oak and ash wood. Our commitment to sustainability ensures that your premium black wooden frame is as environmentally conscious as it is aesthetically pleasing.
How does the 20mm frame compare to standard gallery frames?
While many galleries use a thin 14mm frame, our 20mm (0.79") thick frames provide a more substantial, premium feel. This added width offers better structural support for the 70x100 cm format and a more commanding presence on your wall.
Does the print come ready to hang?
Absolutely. Your Lygia Pape framed art print includes a professional-grade hanging kit. The artwork is pre-assembled within the black wooden frame, allowing for immediate installation upon delivery to your home or office.
Why is the matte finishing preferred for Neo-Concrete art prints?
A matte, uncoated finish prevents distracting reflections and glare. For Neo-Concrete works like the Book of Time, this ensures that the focus remains on the interplay of geometric shapes and color, maintaining the artist's original visual intent.
