Description

John von Wicht, 
Germany 1888-1970 - 

Untitled, c.1950; 

crayon on tracing paper, signed lower right 'V. Wicht', 28.5 x 34.5 cm (unframed) (ARR) 

Provenance: 
with Gimpel Fils, London, GF17910; 
private collection 

Note: 
the artist moved to the US in the 1920s and exhibited widely there and internationally throughout the 20th century. This study most likely dates from the 1950s when the artist was able to devote himself fully to painting and developed his distinct approach to abstraction that melded geometric form with an intuitive approach, influence by Eastern calligraphy. Works by the artist are in the collections of the British Museum and MoMA, New York.
