Ralph Pomeroy, Stamos, New York 1975, cat. no. 162, illustrated in color

This work is in very good condition overall. There is very minor evidence of wear and handling to the edges, including some hairline craquelure at the pull margins. Under very close inspection, some scattered pinpoint brown spot accretions are visible above the tip of, and to the right of, the lower red form. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, some of the aforementioned accretions fluoresce brightly but do not appear to be the sign of restoration. Framed.

"The great figurative painters were involved with grandeur of vision, using the figure as a means to an end, whereas today the best of the abstract painters are also involved with a grandeur of vision, using color as their means toward a new space-light."
Theodoros Stamos
