DescriptionThis is very large work. Canvas is stretched onto a frame, and pasted onto this canvas is paper covered with what looks like paint. The tones are grayscale, and the shading creates a three-dimensional abstract shape, roughly rectangular on the lower portion with a rounded section near the top that had a triangular peak; a central vertical lines breaks up the plane.ProvenancePurchased from Heller Gallery NYC
