ARSHILE GORKY Tabletop Still Life with Fruit Dish and Papers.
Pencil on paper, double-sided, circa 1935. 224x301 mm; 8 3/4x11 7/8 inches. Inscribed "By Gorky for Hans Burkhardt," in pencil, verso. With a series of geometric studies in pencil, verso.
Gorky shared a studio with Hans Burkhardt (1904-1994) in New York from 1928-37. When Burkhardt left New York for Los Angeles in the late 1930s, he brought with him the largest holding of Gorky's work outside of the artist's own collection and was influential in increasing his popularity with numerous West Coast curators and collectors. In 1947, the year before Gorky's suicide, Burkhardt donated Self Portrait, oil, 1928, by Gorky to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
