Keserü has described Black Line, created in 1968, as an expression of "feminine life and the joy of living". It is one of the first works in which she glued pieces of canvas together to create three-dimensional shapes.
National Museum of Women in the Arts director Susan Fisher Sterling said Black Line is an important addition to the museum's contemporary European collection.
Keserü was an important member of IPARTERV, a group of Hungarian neo-avant garde artists formed in the middle of the 1960s. She studied fresco painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest and later went to Italy, where she was influenced by Arte Povera and the feminist movement.
