Jack Tworkov – L.P.#3 – Q2 -75
Dimensions: framed / 36.5 x 36.5″ paper
Year: 1975
Medium: 3 c lithograph
An early member of the New York School and a first-generation Abstract Expressionist, Jack Tworkov painted intuitively and gesturally, emphasizing texture, direction and line. His most characteristic work contains flashes of color against muted, monochromatic backgrounds, documenting his gestures and drawing attention to pigment and medium. In the second phase of his career, Tworkov abandoned his expressionistic practice for a more theoretical one and began to employ grid-like structures, geometric patterns, and other elements of Minimalism. Tworkov has had solo exhibitions at major institutions across the United States, including The Solomon R. Guggenheim, The Whitney Museum of American Art, and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. This work is offered unframed, is signed, and is in very good condition.
