Mixed media on masonite, c. 1964, with the artist's estate stamp on the reverse. 12 1/4 x 19 1/4 in., 18 1/4 x 24 1/4 in. (frame).Note: This lot is accompanied by a letter of authentication from the artist's estate.Melville Price's work from the 1960's combined action-painting with collage elements to create works in the Pop Art vernacular. Price moved from New York City to Alabama in 1958, where he and his wife Barbara became very active politically, marching with Martin Luther King in Montgomery and taking a stand against the social injustices in the South at the time. It has been suggested that the collaged letter 'M in this work represents Martin Luther King." Provenance: The Estate of the Artist.
