ROBERT GOODNOUGH
Standing Figure.

Acrylic and gouache on canvas, 1965. 305x153 mm; 12x6 inches. Signed and dated in acrylic, lower right recto, and signed and titled in ink, verso. Ex-collection Tibor de Nagy Gallery, New York, with the label on the frame back.

Among the second generation of Abstract Expressionists, Goodnough (1917-2010) consistently hovered under the radar with his own style of coloration and collage. Well known New York galleries such as Tibor de Nagy and André Emmerich represented Goodnough for most of his career and he was eventually given a one-man show at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo.
