Untitled (Ink on Paper)
-
Description
This elegant ink on paper work was realized by the esteemed 20th century American artist Sacha Kolin, circa 1970. The work features amorphic and atomic forms with curvilinear expressionistic detailing in grisaille tones against a white background. Subtle and full of dynamism, this piece represents an exceptionally strong example of Kolin's practice. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It comes presented in a custom brushed aluminum gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The piece is signed "Kolin 1970".
Sacha Kolin was born in Paris to a Ukranian Jewish family, and spent her childhood in Argentina and Hungary before settling with her parents in Vienna. Kolin trained at Vienna's School of Arts and Crafts and the Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Paris in 1933 to study under Naoum Lvovich Aronson. She exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1934 to 1936.
Fleeing Nazi persecution of Jews in nearby Germany, Kolin and her family emigrated to the United States in 1936, settling in New York City. Kolin soon began exhibiting her art at venues including Rockefeller Center as well as the 1940 World's Fair. Kolin was a longtime friend of artist Ray Johnson and an early member of his New York Correspondance School. Her work is collected internationally and appreciated for its unique (and compelling) aesthetic, and valuable contributions to 20th century abstract painting.
