Committed to intensively exploring the power of art to elicit strong emotional reactions, the artist abandoned bright colors that characterize his work of the early 1950s in favor of deep reds and burgundies. 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Untitled, 1960, a highlight of Sotheby’s 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Contemporary Art Evening Auction, illuminates♏ this profound shift and represents the artist at the peak of his power. “Seen close up and in a penumbra, as these paintings are meant to be seen, they absorb, they envelop the viewer” wrote Peter Selz, curator of the 1961 MoMA retrospective “for they are mirrors of our fantasy and serve as echoes of our experience.” S♑old on behalf of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), this exquisite work will benefit the institution’s Acquisitions Fund.
