An abstract painter for more than forty years, Sam Gilliam has worked through Abstract Expressionism and Washington Color Field school movements to create his own unique style. Known as the "father of the draped canvas," Gilliam rose to fame in the 1960s by liberating the canvas from its frame, and suspending it from leather strings. His works are in the collections of the National Gallery, the Phillips Collection, the Hirshhorn Museum and the Corcoran Gallery, each in Washington, DC, and other major national museums.
