Wilbur Niewald
(Missouri, 1925-2022)
Studio View East, 1973
Watercolor on paper
22" x 30"
A neighborhood view from the artist's studio 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.
Pencil-signed to the bottom right. Float-mounted behind glass in a walnut frame that measures 30" x 38".
Provenance: From the collection of a Fortune 500 company, acquired from the artist.
Very good condition, noting a pinhole at each corner of the sheet. The sheet has come free from its back mounting (no resulting damage, but it will need to be re-fastened).
