Adolph Gottlieb (American, 1903-1974) abstract acrylic on board with vibrant colors; labeled verso "Le Chat Noir 1881 Art Gallery"; signed to lower right "Adolph Gottlieb"; measures approximately 18-1/4" x 14-1/2" with frame and has a sight image of approximately 15-1/4" x 11-1/2"; in Good condition. Provenance: Property of private Southern Collection. Born in New York City in 1903, Adolph Gottlieb was a founding member of The Ten, a group devoted to abstract art with whom he was active for about five years. He became a major exponent of Abstract Expressionism whose painting style is linked to Marc Rothko, Clyfford Still and Barnet Newman. A major theme in Gottlieb's painting is the challenge to humans to resolve dualities within the universe, the pressure of opposites: male and female, chaos and order, creation and destruction, order and chaos.
Note: Bremo Auctions would like to emphasize that while we believe this work to be authentic, it is not included in Gottlieb's Catalog Raisonne, as notified to us by the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, Inc. However, the foundation cannot offer opinions on the authenticity of a work of art outside of their authentication program and thus the legitimacy of this work is open to the judgement of the buyer.
Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
