About the Item

PHILIP WOFFORD Dutch (Andre Emmerich Gallery), 1975 Acrylic on Canvas painting 73 inches x 73 inches x 2 inches Hand signed, titled and dated on the verso This is a unique painting Framed included: stretched to the artist's original vintage wood frame Abstract Expressionist painter Philip Wofford was a longtime professor of art at Bennington College, teaching alongside Motherwell, Frankenthaler, Noland. This work bears the original Andre Emmerich Gallery label, visible but torn. Philip Wofford Biography: Philip Wofford (b. 1935, Van Buren, AZ) was born in Van Buren, Arizona in 1935. He received his BFA from the University of Arkansas in 1957 and his Masters Degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1958. His work has been exhibited at several prominent institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Art; the Houston Museum of Contemporary Art; The Fogg Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge; and Yale University, New Haven. Wofford's work is represented in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; the RISD Museum, Providence; the the Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro; and the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, Hanover, among others. Philip Wofford was a prominent member of the Lyrical Abstraction movement of the 1960s and 70s. His works have been celebrated for their visually primal energy and for exploring themes of duality and conflict. Wofford paints on an impressive scale, with bright forms set against a white background. These forms overlap and twist around one another, creating an illusionist space that oscillates between flat and dimensional. His marks are intuitive, yet maintain an overall form much like those found in the works of Jean Pousette-Dark and Willem de Kooning.
