Description
SIDEO FROMBOLUTI
Thicket.
Oil on canvas, 1959. 710x660 mm; 28x26 inches. Signed in oil, lower left recto.
Provenance: Zabriskie Gallery, New York, with the label; Phillips de Pury & Co., New York, March 10, 2007, lot 305; private collection, New York.
Fromboluti was born in Hershey, Pennsylvania of Italian immigrants during the Great Depression. He was the first of his family to attend college having won the only scholarship offered by his high school to the Tyler College of Art, Philadelphia. He subsequently earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master's degree. He was drafted into the Army during World War II, completing his service in Junction City, Kansas. Following the war, Fromboluti moved with his wife, the artist Nora Speyer, whom he met and married while at the Tyler College of Art, and they built a summer home and studio on Higgins Pond in Wellfleet in 1966 after previous summers in Woodstock and Martha's Vineyard. Both artists painted in lush, impasto surfaces, and Fromboluti's abstract style was in synch with the New York School of Abstract Expressionism.
