Artist: Steve Wheeler (American, 1912 - 1992).
Title: "Rabo Is the Best [three elongated figures]".
Medium: Mixed media (tempera, color crayons, pen and ink) on paper.
Date: Composed c1950.
Dimensions: Overall size: 15 1/4 x 11 1/4 in. (387 x 286 mm).
Lot Note(s): Signed "Wheeler" in pencil, lower left. Cream wove paper. Very good condition; a few soft creases in the upper and lower right edge, away from the image. Comment(s): Wheeler is often spoken of as one of the least appreciated, but most deserving, of 20th Century American artists. The influence of Arshile Gorky on his oeuvre is often overlooked. Wheeler’s work is increasingly being "discovered," as evidenced by the sale of his painting "W22 (Man Looking at Pork Chop)" at Christie's New York, 05/21/2008, lot #8, at $109,000 (including premium). There has been recent increasing interest in his fine prints as well. Image copyright © The Estate of Steve Wheeler. [30110-3-20000]
