Silkscreen on canvas on board, 1969, edition 100/150, presumably signed and numbered in felt-tip pen on the verso, from Series 2, published by Petersburg Press, framed.

Private Collection of Art, Modern Design, and Sculpture, Washington, D.C.

Color field artist Gene Davis was know for these vibrant, punch works featuring brightly-colored stripes that explore the interplay between colors. The silkscreen prints offered here from Series 2 are unique because they are printed on canvas rather than paper, and this gives the works an especially strong and saturated feel.

Overall good condition; some slight shifting of canvas at right corners; not examined out of frame.
