PHILIP WOFFORD Dutch (Andre Emmerich Gallery), 1975 Acrylic on Canvas painting 73 inches x 73 inches x 2 inches Hand signed, titled and dated on the verso This is a unique painting Framed included: stretched to the artist's original vintage wood frame Abstract Expressionist painter Philip Wofford was a longtime professor of art at Bennington College, teaching alongside Motherwell, Frankenthaler, Noland. This work bears the original Andre Emmerich Gallery label, visible but torn. Philip Wofford Biography: Philip Wofford (b. 1935, Van Buren, AZ) was born in Van Buren, Arizona in 1935. He received his BFA from the University of Arkansas in 1957 and his Masters Degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1958. His work has been exhibited at several prominent institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Art; the Houston Museum of Contemporary Art; The Fogg Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge; and Yale University, New Haven. Wofford's work is represented in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; the RISD Museum, Providence; the the Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro; and the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, Hanover, among others. Philip Wofford was a prominent member of the Lyrical Abstraction movement of the 1960s and 70s. His works have been celebrated for their visually primal energy and for exploring themes of duality and conflict. Wofford paints on an impressive scale, with bright forms set against a white background. These forms overlap and twist around one another, creating an illusionist space that oscillates between flat and dimensional. His marks are intuitive, yet maintain an overall form much like those found in the works of Jean Pousette-Dark and Willem de Kooning.

  • Phenomena Greet by Day by Paul Jenkins - Abstract Expressionist painting
    By Paul Jenkins
    Located in London, GB
    Phenomena Greet by Day by Paul Jenkins (1923-2012) Acrylic on canvas 146 x 114.3 cm (57 ½ x 45 inches) Signed lower right, Paul Jenkins Executed in 1994-1996 Provenance: Private collection, New York (acquired directly from the artist) Stern Pissarro Gallery, London Private collection, Netherlands Artist biography Born at Kansas City in Missouri (USA), the multi-media artist, poet and playwright Paul Jenkins studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Art Students League in New York City. After his discharge from military service at the end of February 1946, he briefly studied playwriting with dramatist George McCalmon at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. Thereafter, Jenkins spent four years studying with Japanese American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi in New York City. His first solo exhibitions were held at Studio Paul Facchetti in Paris in 1954 and the Martha Graham Gallery in New York City in 1956. Over the past thirty years, numerous retrospectives have been curated across the globe and Jenkins’ work can found in national collections from Europe and the United States to Israel, Australia and Japan. The diversity of his work springs from Jenkins’ wealth of eclectic influences. Some of his earliest works included what he called "interior landscapes" influenced by ancient natural forms like the caves he visited in the Ozark Mountains in his native-Missouri. Frequent student visits to the Frick Collection in New York fostered a love of the great masters: Bellini, Holbein, Vermeer, Rembrandt, de la Tour, Turner and Goya. In compliment, lingering student visits to the renowned Eastern collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City evoked powerful sympathy for a monumental Chinese fresco...
