Arshile Gorky
Phillips is delighted to offer the following selection of two outstanding works by Arshile Gorky from the Monmouth Museum in New Jersey. A largely self-taught Armenian émigré artist based in New York City, Gorky was a seminal figure in the American movement towards abstraction in the first half of 20th century. His groundbreaking oeuvre ultimately paved the way for Abstract Expressionism, and these two early works exemplify the artist’s insatiable desire to learn from the masters of modern art and to develop his own signature practice.
