"Proudly held in my private collection; this authentic work is exclusively available for purchase here on Chairish."

This is an abstract expressionist oil on canvas, dominated by a striking palette of deep teals/blues and fiery oranges, with gestural, energetic brushwork. The composition evokes an urban scene — perhaps a city at night or on fire — with architectural forms dissolving into abstraction. It's very much in keeping with the mid-century Parisian avant-garde sensibility of the 1960s.

It's a well-provenance piece with clear attribution — the Paris address label, the artist's signature on the back, and the gallery history all add to its authenticity and appeal. See less
