ALVIN D. LOVING, JR. (1935 - 2005) Untitled (Three Cube Composition).
Acrylic on three joined hexagonal canvases, circa 1969-70. Approximately 1575x1575 mm; 62x62 inches.
Provenance: acquired directly from the artist; private California collection.
In response to his 1969 Whitney show, Al Loving wrote in a 2001 essay for a Gottlieb Fellowship: "My geometric abstractions of this time represented a post graduate end to my education in western culture and art history. I was trying to evoke three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface. The Whitney show would force me to scramble to find my own non-ecclectic position in art."
