About the Item

Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: Robert Kiley (American, 1924-1996) Marking(s); notes: signed artist's label verso, marking(s) Materials: acrylic on linen Dimensions (H, W, D): 55"h, 78"w Additional Information: Work is from the "AK" series. Provenance: Collection of Phyllis Kiley (wife of the artist), Boca Raton, FL Modern5961 Collection, West Palm Beach, Florida. Robert Kiley is an American abstract painter whose "AK" series works explore themes of restraint, harmony, and quiet elegance. These large-scale compositions evoke the spirit of ikebana — the Japanese art of flower arrangement — through their refined balance and use of negative space. With soft, natural palettes and gestural simplicity, Kiley’s work aligns with the aesthetics of wabi-sabi: an appreciation of imperfection, transience, and the subtle beauty found in stillness. His visual language resonates with collectors drawn to organic modernism and contemplative abstraction, recalling the tone of artists such as Lee Ufan, Cy Twombly (in his quieter moments), and contemporary Japanese minimalists.
