SAM GILLIAM (1933 - ) Wave.
Watercolor on thin Japan paper, 1967. 584x864 mm; 23 3/4x38 3/4 inches. Signed, titled, dated and numbered "11" in ink on the frame back.
Provenance: private collection, Pennsylvania.
This is a large, early example of Sam Gilliam work in watercolor which imitate 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.
