Estimate value
€ 3 000 – 6 000
Harold Shapinsky (1925 Brooklyn/New York - 2004 Rockville/Maryland)
Untitled (Ohne Titel)
Der Künstler gehört zu den wiederentdeckten amerikanischen Malern des Abstrakten Expressionismus. Shapinsky, ein Zeitgenosse von Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock und Mark Rothko, lernte an der von Motherwell und Rothko gegründeten, 1948/49 bestehenden Kunstschule "Subject of the Artist" in New York. 1950 wurden Werke Shapinskis durch Vermittlung Motherwells in eine Ausstellung für neue Talente in der Kootz Gallery aufgenommen. Trotz des hoffnungsvollen Anfangs gelang Shapinsky jahrzehntelang kein weiterer Erfolg und er malte in Verborgenheit in seiner winzigen Wohnung in Manhattan. Dort konnte er nur an Papiergemälden in bescheidenem Format arbeiten, im Unterschied zu großformatigen Leinwänden, mit denen man den Abstrakten Expressionismus in Verbindung brachte. Erst durch die Zufallsentdeckung des indischen Englischprofessors Akumal Ramachander und dessen engagierte Initiative erhielt Shapinsky 1985 eine erste, große Retrospektiv-Ausstellung in der renommierten Mayor Gallery in London und späten Ruhm, sogar die Tate Gallery erwarb als erstes Museum ein Gemälde. Öl/Papier, auf Lwd. kaschiert. R. u. sign.; 29 cm x 30,5 cm. Rahmen.
Oil on paper, laid down on paper. Signed.
