Richard Hambleton started as a graffiti artist. From making street art to painting in his studio, he has come a long way as an artist. He is one of many intriguing artists being featured at Contemporary Art Online by Sotheby’s with the piece the “Shadowman”. Hambleton was always famous for the recurring image of a silhouetted figure (Shadowman) in his works. The item is acrylic on paperboard being presented at the highest estimation of $120,000. 

Along with Hambleton, the curation of 219 features many contemporary artists such as Lee Bontecou and Helen Frankenthaler who represent the true spirit of abstractionism.
