SAM GILLIAM (1933 - ) Leather.
Watercolor on thin Japan paper, 1969. 584x864 mm; 23x34 inches. Signed and dated in pencil, lower right.
Provenance: acquired directly from the artist; private collection, Washington, DC.
This is a large, early example of Sam Gilliam's works on paper that imitated his experimental draped canvases and floor paintings of the same period. They were also stained and saturated--the reaction of the thin paper to the wet paint was incorporated into the image-making.
