Norman Bluhm (1921-1999)

This work will be included in the forthcoming Norman Bluhm, Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings edited by John Yau.

"Bluhm is the only artist working in the idiom of abstract-expressionism who has a spirit similar to that of Pollock, which is to say that he is out--beyond beauty, beyond composition, beyond the old-fashined kind of pictorial ambition." (Frank O'Hara, 1962, as quoted in F. O'Hara, Standing Still and Walking in New York, 1983).
