About the Item

Steve Sorman has had over 80 solo artist exhibitions throughout the United States . I have included, just for reference, some images of his museum show so that you can see the body of work that he has created which is very similar to this work we have featured. This one large work titled "Burden of Need" measures 39x64 unframed and was created in 1989. I have included many detail images to show the intricacies in this multi media work. There is hand work along with aquatint along with collage etc. He is a master of using multiple techniques within the same work of art. This work on paper is numbered 19 of only 23 that were created. Each will have slight differences due to the many different mediums used to create this work. This work will be shipped unframed in a heavy thick roll. His work is in numerous corporate, private and museum collections, including Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, The Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York City, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Walker Art Center, in Minneapolis, to name only a few.

Museum Collected artist Abstract Illusion acrylic painting on board 37x27"

Located in Southampton, NY
In order to make room at the gallery for new work coming in August for the Summer Season here in the Hamptons, certain work is offered at a substantial price reduction. This is one of those works. Originally priced at $8000, we are now offering it at only $3950. James Havard is considered one of the "pioneers of the abstract illusionism movement" One of James Havard's homes and studio's was on the island of Tortola and this work from 1979 evokes the feel of the aqua blue waters and the reference of Salt Island in the painting refers to the salty feel of the ocean waters. In the 1970's Havard was the principle artist that started working in an abstract style that included gestural brush strokes and paint squeezed directly from the tube to create beautiful surface textures in his paintings.
