Gene Davis
Ferris Wheel: abstract modern minimalist color field drawing with rainbow colors

1973

About the Item

This geometric, minimalist print glows in rainbow shades. Vibrant raspberry pink, magenta, yellow, lime green, and sky-blue lines take on the organic quality of handmade paper, resulting in this subtle iteration of Gene Davis’ iconic color field stripe paintings. The delicate repeated marks evoke sound waves and rhythm, and the title suggests the circular movement and spokes of a Ferris wheel. Paper: 30.25 x 39.75 in. / 77 x 101 cm. Image: 22 x 31.75 in. / 56 x 81 cm. Lithograph on Hodgkinson oatmeal handmade paper. Signed by the artist, dated 1973, and numbered lower right in pencil. A copy of this lithograph is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.
