Provenance: acquired directly from the artist (1967); private collection, Virginia.
Think So is one of the earliest paintings by the artist to come to auction - an intriguing example of Gilliam's first period of experimentation with staining raw canvas and improvisation. The best known painting of his from 1967 is Red Petals in the Phillips Collection, Washington, DC.
