About the Item
Kathy is an abstract artist who explores a diverse range of mediums and techniques, including painting with oil or acrylic, incorporating paper in collage, and experimenting with printmaking. Her creative process is fluid and ever-evolving, marked by a love for alternating between painting and drawing. These two forms often meld together seamlessly, while at other times, they drift apart, each finding its own voice within the work. This dynamic interplay between media mirrors the way elements within a composition influence and challenge one another.
A central theme in Kathy's work is the exploration of negative space—the quiet, almost sacred intervals between objects or forms. These empty spaces, much like the pauses we seek in life, offer moments of rest, contemplation, and safety. They allow the work to breathe, creating a delicate balance that invites the viewer to reflect. For Kathy, these intervals are as essential as the elements that fill them, offering a quiet power that deepens the overall impact of the piece.
Creating art, for Kathy, is akin to constructing a puzzle—an abstract equation or narrative where every mark, layer, and erasure contributes to a greater story. Each piece takes on a life of its own, shifting and evolving with every decision. There is a continuous process of addition and subtraction, where one element may give way to another, and the composition is constantly redefined. For Kathy, this act of layering and unlayering is an ongoing puzzle in motion, a dynamic equation waiting to be solved—a narrative unfolding with every brushstroke, cut, or print.

Provenance
Compass Rose, Chicago
Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings.
From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League.
Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...
