Untitled, ca. 1972; Oil on canvas; Unmarked; 88" x 119 1/4"; Exhibition: "Dancing with Dystopia," Allan Stone Projects, New York, 2015; Provenance: Allan Stone Gallery, New York; Allan Stone (1932-2006), over the course of 50 years, the eminent art dealer and collector Allan Stone amassed an art collection unrivaled in diversity and depth. A self-proclaimed ‘art-junkie’, Stone was neither influenced by money nor swayed by opinion in the pursuit of art. He collected work that spoke to him. His tastes were famously wide-ranging. He was equally drawn to photorealism, junk sculpture, tribal and folk art and Americana as well as Bugatti automobiles - all of which he exhibited in the renowned Allan Stone Gallery. Stone was an early supporter and recognized authority on Abstract Expressionism, accumulating an unrivaled collection of work by Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock, among others. He was the early champion of artists Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Estes and is credited with giving many emerging artists their start.

Good condition with vibrant colors. Some abrasion to pigment at all four corners and three or four small losses to paint at center of upper edge. One faint scuff to upper right quadrant.
