Nicolas Africano (Illinois, b. 1948)
Among Sparrows, 1988
Watercolor on paper
11 1/4" x 8" (sight)
Presented behind glass in a wooden frame that measures 16" x 13".
Provenance: From the Bill & Ellen Morgan collection. Bill Morgan is a professor emeritus of English at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. It was there that he befriended Nicolas Africano, and he quickly became a patron and collector of the Africano's work as well; for a time Morgan rented Africano a room, occasionally accepting artwork in lieu of payment. This far-reaching collection from an early adopter gives a unique opportunity to access rare early works and get an expansive view of the artist during several pivotal moments in his journey.
Alternate spelling: Nicholas Africano
Condition
Very good condition. Not removed from the frame.
