About the Item

This captivating piece of abstract art, dated 1962, offers a fascinating glimpse into mid-century artistic expression. Rendered in ink on paper, the artwork features an intriguing array of abstract figures, skillfully depicted through varying line weights and pen strokes. The artist's unique techniques and motifs create a dynamic interplay of shapes and textures, drawing the viewer into a visual exploration of form and contrast. Although the signature, located in the upper right corner, remains elusive, it adds to the artwork's enigmatic charm. The piece is elegantly presented, mounted on a sophisticated tan linen matte and framed in a deep, dark brown leather frame that complements the intricate gold wood trim detail. It is protected by premium museum-quality glass, ensuring its preservation and enhancing its visual appeal. This unique piece comes with a prestigious provenance, having been originally placed by the renowned designer Michael S. Smith in Jim Belushi's Brentwood Estate. Michael S. Smith is a highly acclaimed American interior designer known for his sophisticated and eclectic approach to creating luxurious and comfortable interiors. Smith's clientele includes notable figures in the entertainment industry, business leaders, and he notably was chosen by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to redecorate the residential quarters of the White House during their tenure. His work is characterized by a thoughtful integration of architecture, interior design, and decorative arts, with a keen eye for detail, texture, and historical context. Smith's projects have been featured in numerous publications, and he has authored several books showcasing his design philosophy and projects. He has also been honored with multiple awards and recognitions for his contributions to the design world.
