SAM GILLIAM (1933 - )
Untitled.

Watercolor with aluminum dust and metallic paint on wove paper, 1968. 610x457 mm; 24x18 inches. Signed and dated in pencil, lower right.

Provenance: private collection, Los Angeles (1997).

This early watercolor is a very good example of the experimental techniques that Sam Gilliam used on works on paper - imitating his painting on folded and draped canvas of the same period.
