Measuring 70x100 cm (28x40 inches), this framed piece commands attention with its bold, abstract forms and deep, shadowy recesses that evoke themes of nature, technology, and the subconscious.
As a leading figure in the 1960s New York art scene, Bontecou crafted FIRST STONE using unconventional materials like welded steel and canvas, blending sculpture with drawing to create haunting, three-dimensional reliefs.

The print is safeguarded by shatterproof plexiglass, offering durability without compromising clarity.
