1973

About the Item

An expressive, jubilant abstract composition in vibrant scarlet red, with Mark Tobey’s calligraphy-inspired mark-making creating a textured matrix of lines that seems to wave and swirl. Mark Tobey, Mandarin and Flowers 1973 Image 27 1/8 x 19 1/2 inches / 68.9 x 49.53 cm; sheet: 30 3/4 x 40 1/2 inches / 78.1 x 102.87 cm Color lithograph on cream wove paper Edition 95 with 11 AP A copy of this print is in the collection of Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo, New York; NGV, Australia; Syracuse University Art Museum, Syracuse, New York. John Cage once said of going on a walk with Mark Tobey: "It was the first time that someone else had given me a lesson in looking without prejudice, someone who didn't compare what he was seeing with something before, who was sensitive to the finest nuances of light. Tobey would stop on the sidewalks, sidewalks which we normally didn't notice when we were walking, and his gaze would immediately turn them into a work of art. He was attentive to the slightest detail. For him, everything was alive. He had an extraordinary sense of the presence of things."

  • Jarid's Porch by Howard Hodgkin: abstract black grey and yellow gouache
    By Howard Hodgkin
    Located in New York, NY
    Black and yellow, hand painted abstract work by Howard Hodgkin. A bright yellow calligraphy or graffiti-like mark is set against translucent grey. While most Hodgkin works are abstract, the artist usually includes observational gestures: for example, a room viewed from above becomes a grouping of soft shapes. Here, the fragmented corner of a wraparound porch is a yellow, calligraphic angle floating in shrouds of grey. Wide ribbons of velvety gouache wash over the incandescent shape’s border, with polite ink blots, frantic scribbles, and measured brushstrokes. These marks seem to set the yellow shape in place like a gem’s bezel...
