"Cameroon III" is an abstract acrylic collage and mixed media on canvas by the 20th century artist Adja Yunkers. This work is part of his "Cameroon" collage series from the 1970s and has ten strands of mixed fabrics hanging through it. The work is in good condition and is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner. It is also signed, dated, and titled on the verso. The canvas of the work measures at 30 x 24 inches.
Adja Yunkers was born Adolf Junkers in Riga in 1900, in what was then the Russian Empire but is now the capital city of the nation of Latvia. He studied art in Petrograd (Saint Petersburg) and served a stint in the Russian army during WWI. He then began to travel, studying and practicing art all around Europe before serving again in the military during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. In 1939 he moved to Stockholm and worked with the Swedish Surrealists and took up an interest in printmaking with woodblock prints. After World War II, Yunkers moved to New York City and took up a teaching position at the New School. He married Dore Ashton who would go on to become an art critic for the New York times in 1955. While not an artist often associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement in New York, he worked with many of those artists and began to work on colorful abstract work in pastel. He founded the Rio Grande Workshop in New Mexico in 1949 and illustrated a limited-edition book for Octavio Paz in 1969.
Yunkers' work has been exhibited at the Maria Kunde Galerie, Hamburg, Germany, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Utah Museum of Art, Salt Lake Cit, the Museo de arte moderno, Bosque de Chapultepec, Instituto nacional de bellas artes, Mexico City, the Fine Arts Museum of Long Island, Hempstead, New York, and the Brooklyn Museum. Permanent collections of his work include Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C., Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, California, Guggenheim Museum, New York, Hamburg Kunsthalle, Germany, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., Museo Pedro Coronel, Zacatecas, México, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts, Museum of Modern Art, New York City, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C., Stockholm National Gallery, Sweden, Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Yunkers passed away in New York in 1983.
