Two works: Studies for Wall Drawings

Executed in gouache and pencil on paper, these two studies by Richard Wright reveal the meticulous preparatory process behind his celebrated wall-based works. Delicate marks and luminous color passages map out the geometric and ornamental forms that would later be translated onto architectural surfaces at monumental scale. The works on paper possess an intimate, exploratory quality that contrasts with yet illuminates the ephemeral grandeur of Wright's site-specific installations.
