Lot 183 - Robin Kandel - Furthermore We Couldn't Stay

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.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

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. 

You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
