The Jagged Drama of Clyfford Stillâs Paintings
Sothebyâs Chairman Lisa Dennison explores the striking forms and chromatic intensity and of Clyfford Stillâs PH144 (1947-Y-No.1). With its forceful combination of deep black, bright yellow and crimson red, this monumental work embodies everything that Still stood for as an artist and was notably selected by Still himself for inclusion in his seminal 1959 exhibition Paintings by Clyfford Still.
