1979 Gene Davis “Yellow Jack” Signed Artist Proof Lithograph
This 1979 Gene Davis Yellow Jack Artist Proof lithograph reflects the artist’s iconic Washington Color School style, known for rhythmic vertical stripes and vibrant chromatic structure.
Provenance:
This work was reportedly acquired from a corporate collection associated with ExxonMobil’s Northern Virginia offices. It later came into our family collection through a professional connection when the building housing the collection transitioned to the Inova Schar Cancer Institute and works were deaccessioned during relocation.
The piece has remained in private care since that time.
About the Artist:
Gene Davis (1920–1985) was a leading figure in the Washington Color School movement. His work is held in major museum collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and SFMOMA.
Style:
Davis’s work emphasizes vertical color banding designed to create optical rhythm and movement, often described as visual “music.”

The lithograph has been well-preserved under glass and shows no notable toning, fading, or foxing. The original wood frame is structurally sound, though there is a small chip/splinter on one of the back corners (see photo), which is completely hidden from view when the piece is hanging on the wall. less
