Dennis Balk (New York, 20th/21st C) unframed (on stretcher) artist proof digital canvas print dated and signed verso "D. Balk 2004 AP". Label verso for 2005 exhibition at the Michael Steinberg Fine Art Gallery in New York with title “Untitled, Particle with Ideographic Stroke, 2004â€. Measures 24†in height with width of 18†and depth of 1-1/4". In overall good condition, all measurements are approximate. Dennis Balk was originally a performance artist, but became known in the art world in the early 1990s for improvisational diagrams that brought different historical narratives into collision. He always had a particular interest in recycling, and one work in his solo debut at American Fine Arts in Soho in 1992 charted the lives of Ho Chi Minh and Abraham Lincoln -- both fathers of their countries in different ways -- across white paper napkins. His work exemplifies abstract expressionism meeting graffiti photograph with a dash of Cy Twombly and science, with great yet strange effectiveness.
