Lot 181 - Robin Kandel - It Was Unlike As If We'd Been

ARTIST INFO

About 

Born in Detroit, Michigan, I have an early memory, at age five or six, of gazing at a Franz Kline painting in the Detroit Institute of Arts and, to the amusement of two adults behind me, explaining Kline's heavy, black, mark-making to my older sister. Seeing that Franz Kline painting and, on exhibit nearby, a massive, black, room-like sculpture by Louise Nevelson, might just account for the trajectory of my life in art.

The four pieces for AOAP are mono prints made with powdered graphite in suspension. 

They suggest places known and unknown, with titles that hint at getting there, wherever "there" is.
