"Aurera", the title of the present work by Eduardo Chillida, means something like " forwards" in Basque and is thus a synonym for "bon à tirer".

The present collage is therefore the artist's model for the central, and at the same time the largest sheet of the later 8-part series for the book "Martin Heidegger: Art and Space", published in 1969.
