1973

About the Item

An expressive, moody abstract composition in tan and brown, with Mark Tobey’s soft, calligraphy-inspired mark-making reminiscent of earth, loam, or even flowing water. Mark Tobey, Fragment 1973 Lithograph image: 15 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches / 40 x 13.33 cm; sheet: 27 x 10 inches / 68.58 x 25.4 cm Edition 45; this copy a signed proof annotated SP A copy of this print is in the collection of Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo, 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."
