SAM GILLIAM (1933 - ) Untitled.
Watercolor on fibrous Japan paper, circa 1967. 590x457 mm; 23 1/4x18 inches. Signed in pencil, lower right.
Provenance: private collection, Philadelphia (1967).
The owner recalled acquiring this work from a Washington, DC gallery at the time of Sam Gilliam's first solo exhibition at the Phillips Collection.
This early watercolor is a richly colored example of the experimental staining techniques that Sam Gilliam used on works on paper as well as his unstretched canvases.
