Untitled Fountain
2004
This dynamic abstract drawing by Mark di Suvero showcases his signature gestural language translated onto paper, with bold sweeping ink strokes that evoke the kinetic energy of his large scale sculptural works. The composition features powerful calligraphic arcs and splashes of black ink set against subtle underlying pencil lines that suggest architectural or structural forms. It is a unique work hand signed by the artist in the lower right, combining immediacy with compositional sophistication. The price estimate of US$23,000 to US$27,000 reflects both its rarity as a one of a kind work and di Suvero's established market position.

Artists in conversation
Richard Serra
American · b. 1938
Serra shares di Suvero's commitment to monumental industrial steel sculpture that engages space and gravity as primary forces, using raw rolled and weathered steel to create physically commanding abstract forms on an architectural scale.
Alexander Calder
American · b. 1898
Calder pioneered large scale abstract metal sculpture that incorporates dynamic balance and movement, directly influencing di Suvero's use of suspended and pivoting steel elements that interact with wind and physical space.
Anthony Caro
British · b. 1924
Caro similarly assembled welded industrial steel beams and found metal components into bold abstract compositions that reject the pedestal and engage the viewer at ground level, sharing di Suvero's gestural and structural language in fabricated steel abstraction.
