Wilbur Niewald
(Missouri, 1925-2022)
Kansas City, View from 20th and Charlotte, 1979
Oil on canvas
26" x 32"

A view of downtown Kansas City from Crossroads East by the revered painter that Nelson-Atkins Director Julian Zugazagoitia dubbed "the Patriarch of the Kansas City Art World." Not only was Niewald's fruitful body of work both exciting and influential, but his career as a member of the Kansas City Art Institute faculty, begun in 1949, saw him help to prepare several generations of contemporary painters.

Signed and titled to the reverse. Presented in a slim wooden frame with metal sight edge, measuring 27" x 33".

Provenance: From the collection of a Fortune 500 company, acquired from the artist.

Condition

Very good condition. No issues were observed under blacklight inspection. There is a little bit of wear to the frame.
