Adolph Gottlieb — Chrome Yellow - Green Disc
Adolph Gottlieb

Chrome Yellow - Green Disc

A striking example of Adolph Gottlieb's iconic "Burst" series, this lithograph presents a luminous chrome yellow orb hovering above a loosely rendered green disc, printed in colors on Rives BFK paper. The composition embodies Gottlieb's exploration of primal tension and balance, with the crisp, radiant form above contrasting against the more gestural, organic shape below. The full sheet preserves the work's commanding sense of scale and spatial drama, showcasing the artist's masterful use of color and form within the Abstract Expressionist tradition.
