About the Item
Salvatore Grippi was my art professor at Ithaca college from 1970- 1971
Who was doing paintings like this in 1950? Jackson Pollack, Willem De Kooning and Salvatore Grippi, and a few others. Grippi was on the landing crew a Normandy Beach WWII and his early work reflects from the of the tension and stress of the moment. Like de Kooning the work is at the intersection of Abstract Expressionism and Representation.
Grippi exhibited with the giants of the movement, Kooning, Nevelson, and Kline.
Grippi's work is in the collections of the MOMA, The Whitney. The Met., The Library of Congress and the Hirshhorn Collection.
In the 1950's he was with the Zabriskie Gallery and exhibited with William Baziotes, Adolph Gottlieb, Willem de Kooning, Michael Goldberg and Louise Nevelson at the famed Stable Gallery from 1953 - 1957.
In 2011, he was honored with a solo retrospective at Cornell University's Johnson Museum of Art.
Sadly, he is currently off the art world radar, despite how important of an early abstract expressionist painter he was. Perhaps this will change in the near future.
The work is in an original, simple and minimal wood frame.
Signed and dated lower right.

Storm Composition #3
By Abraham Rattner
Located in Miami, FL
An early example of Abstract Expressionism executed in 1955 during the movement's heyday and it's period of peak inventiveness. However, this work is still rooted in representation. The dark area the runs along the base of the picture is the ground and to the left, right and center there are black structures that represent trees. The work is very tactile and is composed of globs of paint that grow out from the surface and form a thick impasto. Rich vibrant saturated blues, reds and oranges create optical drama. The work look better in person. frame: 29 x 39 1/2 inches , Provenance: Kennedy Galleries
