This abstract painting by little known Los Angeles artist is a fine example of color abstraction. The painting portrays an abstract ballerina dancer. The painting has been newly framed in a gold-leafed 2.5″ box frame with a voided area all around. The original black surround is still intact.
This work is one of several works we have acquired from the artist’s estate. Please contact the showroom if you would like see additional works, we will be posting them over the next couple of weeks.
