ARSHILE GORKY Untitled (Studio Still Life).
Pencil on cream wove paper, circa 1930. 285x190 mm; 11 1/4x7 1/2 inches. Inscribed "By Gorky for Hans Burkhardt" in pencil, verso. Ex-collection Hans Burkhardt; gift from Burkhardt to the current owner.
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 largely influential in gaining Gorky's acceptance by 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.
