About the Item
A modern lithograph in colors titled "Zurich, Improvisation XXXII" by Scottish artist Alan Davie. Hand signed in pencil and dated 1965 on the lower right, titled lower mid, and annotated 20/25 on the lower left. Published by Editions Alecto, London. Dimensions: 28.75"h x 38.25"d x 1.5"d (framed). In very good condition. From a private collection.
"Zurich, Improvisation XXXII" showcases Davie’s signature improvisational style, blending bold gestural black lines with vivid overlays of red, pink, orange, yellow, and blue. The composition evokes both jazz-like rhythm and symbolic abstraction, hallmarks of Davie’s work, which often drew inspiration from music, myth, and non-Western art. An important example of Davie’s mid-1960s period, when his international reputation was firmly established.
Alan Davie (1920–2014) was one of Scotland’s most internationally acclaimed postwar artists, celebrated for his bold, improvisational paintings and prints that fused abstraction with symbolic imagery. Trained at Edinburgh College of Art, Davie emerged in the 1950s as one of the first British artists to gain recognition for gestural abstraction, often compared to American Abstract Expressionists though rooted in his own influences of jazz, literature, and non-Western art. Davie represented Britain at the Venice Biennale (1964) and was the subject of major retrospectives at institutions including the Tate Gallery, London (1971) and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. His works are held in prestigious collections worldwide, including the Tate Modern, London; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh. Knighted in 1972 for his contributions to art, Davie remains a central figure in postwar European abstraction.

Robert Kelly Kalasa V Signed Modern Abstract Aquatint Etching 5/50 Framed, 1985
By Robert Kelly
Located in Keego Harbor, MI
A bold and graphic modern aquatint etching in colors titled "Kalasa V" by Robert Kelly. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right with an annotation of 5/50 on the bottom left. Published in 1985. Kelly's work intricately combines influences of the Bauhaus from Van Doesburg to Mondrian, with those of Schwitters and Klee, Kelly weds hints of the historical with the contemporary. His play of edges, angles, and cuts creates a tension and an intuitive logic to the placement of line and form. Kelly's work investigates the idea of doubleness through images that reflect, oppose, or mimic each other. Dimensions: 32"w x 1.5"d x 37"h (framed). In very good vintage condition.
Robert Kelly (1956- ) paintings have been acquired by public and private collections in Europe and the United States, including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, New Mexico Museum of Art, Milwaukee Art Museum, Smith College Art Museum, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, The Fogg Museum, The Margulies Collection, and the McNay Art Museum.
