Arthur Dove
Arthur Dove 1940 "Sun" Painting

1940

About the Item

Arthur Dove: 1880-1946. One of the most important early American Modernists and Abstract Expressionists. He has had auction results over $8,000,000 and that record was 2 weeks ago. At that same auction a 3 by 5 inch watercolor sold for $112,500 with buyers premium. This spectacular gem was listed by Andrew Crispo as a watercolor but I feel that was incorrect. It definitely has some oils and or gouache. Crispo handled some very important artists but was far from an art expert on medium. This might also have some watercolor but definitely has more to it. It came in a terrible unworthy frame and would have most likely shown foxing if it was just a watercolor. Provenance was Dove, Stieglitz, private collection, Crispo to collector who purchased a number of these 5 by 7 pieces in 1976. The Sun was one of Dove's favorite subjects and this is a powerful example of his genius. Not only a fabulous painting by this modern master, but a great investment and strategic hedge against inflation!
