Abstract Non Objective Work on Paper Guggenheim Woman Artist 1940s Drawing w/c HILLA REBAY (1890 - 1967, GERMAN/AMERICAN) Abstract Watercolor on paper, c. 1945. 8x9 inches. Provenance: Estate of Hilla Rebay; Gary Snyder Fine Art, NY. In March of 1996, Snyder Fine Art opened its exhibition, Museum of Non-Objective Painting: American Abstract Art.
