Christie’s is touting a work by Clyfford Still with only two previous owners coming to market after the opening of Still’s museum in Denver:
On May 10, Christie’s will feature Clyfford Still’s PH-234, 1948 (estimate: $25-35m) among the top lots of its New York Evening Sale of Post-War & Contemporary Art.
The majority of Still’s work resides in the collections of museums and institutions, including the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, making the appearance of PH-234 a rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary and iconic example of Still’s work at the heights of his artistic power. In its’ nearly 60 years PH-234 has only had two previous owners and was included in an major Still retrospective curated by James Demetrion at The Hirshhorn Museum in 2001, Clyfford Still: Paintings, 1944-1960.
