Untitled Acrylic paint on paper, c. 2005 Unsigned Provenance: Estate of the Artist Condition: Excellent Image size: 9 7/16 x 7 7/16 inches Support Sheet size: 17 x 14 inches Peter Marks (1935 -2010) Peter Marks was born in New York City on January 18, 1935.

After a brief stint as a graphic designer in publishing, Marks became a private art dealer and opened his gallery Peter Marks Works of Art, Inc. in 1960. During this time he specialized in the sale of Southeast Asian and Islamic antiquities and made many contributions to the field both as a dealer and an advocate of his profession. Above all, Marks was motivated by a strong desire to find great art and make it available to large audiences. After retiring from art dealing in 2002, Marks transformed his Manhattan gallery space into a studio where he drew prolifically and painted large non-objective canvasses.

In 2012, Thomas French Fine Art acquired a large number of works by Peter Marks and now represents the estate. Works by the artist are in the Swope Art Museum, Terre Haute and the Stanley Museum of Art, Iowa City...
