ALVIN D. LOVING, JR. (1935 - 2005) Collage Diptych.
Untitled (Black Compostion) * Untitled (White Composition). Both collages of hand-colored papers with mixed media, circa 1980-85. Both approximately 514x750 mm; 20 1/4x29 1/2 inches. Untitled (White Compostion) signed in ink, lower right on the mat.
Provenance: gift from the artist; Joseph Grippi, NY; thence by descent, private collection, CT.
Joseph Grippi and Al Loving had collaborated on a number of screenprint interpretations of his paintings and collages in the early 1980s. This delightful dyptich shows the sculptural side to Loving's construction - here he intuitively and directly layers various hand cut and colored papers.
