Matted and framed non-objective gouache painting by Richard Filipowski (1923-2008). Gallery label on reverse; Joan Peterson Gallery, Boston, Massachusetts. The work shows the obvious influence of Filipowski’s mentor and lifelong friend, Lázló Moholy-Nagy, under whom he studied at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Filipowski taught at I.I.T. in the late 1940s, then Harvard’s Graduate School of Design in the early 1950s before moving to M.I.T. where he introduced the Bauhaus principles he had learned from Moholy-Nagy. Since early in his career, his work was exhibited in major galleries (e.g., Julian Levy in NYC where, at just 21 years old in 1944, he was invited to show with Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray) and collected by museums and notable private collectors such as David Rockefeller and Walter Gropius. Our consignor purchased this piece 25 years ago from The Two Collection, an annual juried selection of the 100 finest donations from the many thousands of gifts received to support the WGBH Education Foundation in Boston (also included that year were major works from Robert Motherwell, Dale Chihuly, Robert Rauschenberg and others of similar stature). (Keywords: Neo-Plasticism, Constructivism, Hard Edge Abstraction, Barnett Newman, Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Kenneth Noland, Piet Mondrian)
