Born in Medina, PA, Scharf received his art training in Philadelphia and Paris before moving to New York in the early 1950s. His work has been reappraised in the 21st century as "a reminder of the continuing vitality of the most serious sort of abstract painting as derived from the New York School." (Michael Kimmelman, "Art in Review; William Scharf," New York Times, March 26, 2004)

Very minor crazing in lower half of painting.
