Lot Essay

“Noland’s search for the ideal Platonic form has crystalized into an art in which color and form are held in perfect equilibrium. The spare geometry of his form heightens the emotional impact of his color. The rational and the felt, distilled form and sensuous color intermesh to create a magic presence. His space is color. His color is space. Color is all.” (D. Waldman, Kenneth Noland: A Retrospective, New York, 1977, p. 36)
