Amaranth Roslyn Ehrenhalt - We leave in 9 days

A 1974 work by the prolific American artist Amaranth Ehrenhalt, a fascinating figure who, as a young artist in New York, knew and was strongly influenced by Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner and Willem de Kooning, but later passed the major part of his life working in Paris. A fantastical folly of vibrant color with text, including the title, in the upper right and his signature in the upper left, both seemingly integral to the work rather than an afterthought. About the artist: Born in 1928 in Newark and died in 2021 in Manhattan, Amaranth-Roslyn Ehrenhalt is a major American abstract expressionist artist. Graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1951, she began her career in New York in the 1950s, at a time when abstract expressionism was enjoying great success on the contemporary scene. She then moved to Paris, where she met artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Yves Klein and Alberto Giacometti. His work demonstrates his European and American influences, in terms of abstraction, lyricism and color. Inhabited by motifs evoking planets and stars, his vivid paintings are the result of in-depth research into color and form, notably using lithographs and watercolors. She has participated in numerous exhibitions around the world, including a solo exhibition at the Anita Shapolsky gallery in New York in 2012, the group exhibition Elles fait l'abstraction at the Center Pompidou in Paris in 2021, and at the Whitechapel Gallery in London in 2023.
