Lot Essay

Zuzek approached her florals in different ways, from delicate ink studies to loose swathes of color. Tiny Tulips is an example of the two approaches working together for a result that is purely Zuzek. The design is much larger in scale than other florals in this collection, with large detailed ink tulips overlaid with broad strokes of pigment. Every inch of space is filled with flowers, each detailed to such a degree that the varieties are identifiable.
