Abstract pastel gouache by James Byrd; signed and dated to bottom left corner "James Byrd 86"; double matted; measures approximately 41-5/8" x 51-3/8" with frame and has a sight image of approximately 32" x 42"; in Good condition. James Byrd creates abstract gouache works on paper, richly painted in a language of whimsical gesture across fields of color; and enameled steel wall structures of layered melted glass with surfaces like marbles. As a young artist, Byrd was fascinated by the works of the Old Masters. He was drawn to their exquisite execution, with their heroic and spiritual moods expressed in angelic pinks and blues, and emphasized with rich amber tones. By the time he was 25, Byrd was captivated by DeKooning, Pollack, and Kline and their "direct drive" approach to painting.

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.
