Seller's Description:
Mod_Contemp
With its bravado of gesture and its distinct harmony of color held in elusive compartments, this 1960 small painting might have been premonition to the artist's mature work shown nearly fifty years later in his last solo exhibition at Knoedler Gallery (Autumn 2007).
MICHAEL GOLDBERG was one of the central figures of the 10th Street group of Abstract Expressionists working in New York in the 1950s, and was the second youngest (only Joan Mitchell was 2 years younger) of the group to show in the first “9th Street” Exhibition—he was 27 years old in 1951 during that landmark New York ‘invitational’. This oil on panel is a fabulous and classic example of Goldberg’s vigorous gestural style from that era, and iconic of the artist's expression.
Painting is in excellent condition and is well-framed. It retains labels from the Martha Jackson Gallery and, more recently, New York dealer Linda Hyman.
