Abstrakter Expressionismus – Eines von 250 Exemplaren. - Aus dem berühmten Portfolio "Flight", an dem neben Motherwell auch James Rosenquist, Claes Oldenburg und Jasper Johns mitwirkten und das zugunsten der humanitären Arbeit des IRC entstand. - Hg. International Rescue Committee, New York. - Gedruckt bei Maurel Studios, New York. - Die Spannung zwischen freier Geste und kompositorischer Strenge zeichnet das zentrale Vokabular Motherwells aus, der auch in der vorliegenden Arbeit mit einer großzügig geschwungenen Form einen fast meditativen Farbklang mit einer eigentümlichen, fast stillen Wirkung verleiht. - Ein Exemplar der Edition befindet sich in der Sammlung des Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Abstract Expressionism – Colour silkscreen print on sturdy, textured vellum. Signed and numbered. - Very occasional faint, dotted smudges on the left margin. Slight ink bleed through on the reverse. Overall in very good condition. An excellent, richly coloured and grainy-looking print of the abstract composition with margins. - One of 250 copies. - From the famous "Flight" portfolio, to which Motherwell, James Rosenquist, Claes Oldenburg and Jasper Johns contributed, and which was produced in aid of the humanitarian work of the IRC. - Published by the International Rescue Committee, New York. - Printed at Maurel Studios, New York. - The tension between free gesture and compositional rigour characterises Motherwell's central artistic vocabulary, in this work, too, he uses a generously sweeping form to lend an almost meditative harmony of colour with a distinctive, almost tranquil effect. - One copy from this edition is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
