MICHELE OKA DONER (AMERICAN, B. 1945) COLOR STATE ABSTRACT PRINT
Est: $50 - $100
MICHELE OKA DONER (AMERICAN, B. 1945) COLOR STATE ABSTRACT PRINT, pencil signed in margin. Housed in a modern frame. Circa 1970. 9" X 9 3/4" sight, 10 1/4" X 11" OA. Catalogue Note: Born in Miami Beach, Florida in 1945, Michele Oka Doner has become one of the nation's leading sculptors and has worked on numerous public and private art installations across the country throughout her long career. Intellectually and artistically inquisitive at a young age, Doner enrolled at the University of Michigan as an art student in 1963. Under the tutelage of her instructor, Milton Cohen, and others in the department, Doner engaged in creative projects that utilized multiple media and often participated in interdisciplinary exercises that included a diverse range of student-artists. After receiving her degree, she immediately began exploring her craft and turned more and more to creating sculptural objects. Successful at an early age, Doner eventually secured several important commissions for public art installations, including the iconic "Walk on the Beach" at Miami International Airport, a mile-long pathway of bronze figures and designs inlaid in terrazzo and mother-of-pearl. The present print, likely an early work, demonstrates Doner's interest in abstraction and the surreal effect created by the seemingly bizarre combination of forms.
