Franz Kline at Christie’s in May

April 19, 2015 by Marion Maneker

An incredible consignment this season is an unbelievable Franz Kline painting entitled “Steeplechase”, 1959, and an equally rare seascape by American modernist Arthur Dove. The Kline shows this great Abstract Expressionist at his best – action painting at its most exciting, abstraction inspired by the urban architecture and bridges of New York and painted with bold brushwork that is both dynamic and elegant in its interplay of the artist’s classic black and white. The Dove is exquisite – painted on metal, where the shimmering undersurface gives the work an inner light. To have seen them hanging in their current owner’s apartment was breathtaking for our team.
