Lot 0025: MIXED MEDIA PAINTING TWINS IN THE STYLE OF WALASSE TING

Seller: Orlin Vassilev (131)

A mixed media on paper board painting in the Style of Walasse Ting, American, Chinese, 1929 to 2010. Inscribed, Ting, and dated on the backside. Titled The Twins. Signed, titled and dated 1970 on the back side. The artwork is framed in a simple, light wood frame. It features a composition with two nude female figures with reddish hair, surrounded by several cats of various colors. Walasse Ting was a Chinese artist known for his fluorescent colored paintings of cats, erotic nudes, and flowers. Moving to Paris in 1952, he made the acquaintance of many of the members of the CoBrA movement. Later in the 1950s, Ting moved to New York where immersed himself in the art scene, befriending Sam Francis and solidifying his association with abstract expressionism. During this period, he incorporated the bold strokes of traditional Chinese calligraphy into his practice. Finding critical acclaim, he was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1970. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, among others. Modernist and Contemporary Asian Fine Art, Female Portrait Paintings, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.
