Lot Essay

“Kline as a colorist has been seriously overlooked, and refutes his classification as strictly a black and white painter. Similar to the thrusting strokes found in his black and white paintings, Kline's use of color is expansive, bold, and exuberant.”
-– “Franz Kline,” The Phillips Collection, Washington D.C.
