About the Item
This rare 1965 abstract painting by Joan Semmel captures a pivotal moment in the artist’s evolution. Created during her seven-year residency in Madrid, this work reflects Semmel's transition from Abstract Expressionism to a more structured abstraction influenced by European Surrealism. The composition showcases gestural brushwork and vivid, saturated colors, distinguishing her palette from the darker tones prevalent among Spanish contemporaries . This piece exemplifies Semmel's early exploration of form and color, laying the groundwork for her later figurative and feminist works.
Semmel's time in Spain was formative, allowing her to develop a unique visual language that challenged traditional representations. Her experiences during this period informed her subsequent focus on the female perspective and body, themes that have become central to her oeuvre. Today, Semmel's works are held in major institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
This painting offers collectors a unique opportunity to acquire an early work by an artist whose contributions have significantly shaped contemporary art discourse.
