500 Gallery Presents Lee Krasner’s Abstract Composition & Georgia O’Keeffe’s Red Poppy

American Abstract Expressionist painter Lee Krasner (1908 – 1984), regarded as the ‘Queen of Abstraction,’ was born in Brooklyn, New York. Krasner developed an interest in art at the early age of 13. She received art training from the Women’s Art School of Cooper Union and the National Academy of Design. An abstract oil on canvas attributed to Krasner is a leading lot in the upcoming auction, presented by 500 Gallery. This abstract nude composition comes with the artist’s pencil sign on the back. In the available work, the artist demonstrated extraordinary painting techniques even with a limited color palette of somber tones. 

Other highlighted artists represented in the sale include Vincent Van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky, Wifredo Lam, André Derain, Georgia O’Keeffe, Manoucher Yektai, Andy Warhol, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Red Poppy by Georgia O’Keeffe is a notable lot. American modernist painter O’Keeffe is often referred to as ‘The Mother of Modernism.’ She was famous for her painted desert landscapes and flowers. Also available is a set of 38 artworks attributed to Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973). Each piece is signed. The sale also features a fine selection of Pop Art, posters, prints, and Realist compositions.
