Larry Poons (Japanese/American B 1937). Titled "Cats Eye" Signed and dated. Mixed media and acrylic on canvas. Folds in half for shipping. 89 inches x 131 inches. Condition with some loss.Estate of Nicholas Mi9tropoulos (Massachusetts 1952-2025) Born in Tokyo, Japan, Larry Poons became a prominent figure in Optical Art and in theColor-Field school of painting in New York. His paintings of the 1960s were characterized by dots of color placed according to a horizontal vertical and diagonal grid against a rich colored ground. The effect was a sense of movement--thus OpticalArt. In 1965, he exhibited with the Op Artists, but the next year, his art became looser with small colored shapes floating in space. From that time, he changed to expressionism and abstraction. Poons has also created Earth Art such as his"cracked earth landscapes". For these he uses layers of heavy impasto to create the effect of flowing lava and craggy plateaus.8000

Catalog Note: A similar example by Poons, titled "Blushing Prince" - 1976, acrylic on canvas, 89 x 53 inches (226.06 x 134.62 cm) Collection Buffalo AKG Art Museum. Gift of Kenneth C. Griffin, 2019. Purchased by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery with funds provided by Kenneth C. Griffin, January 17, 2019. Contemporary Art Day - 10 May 2012, New York. Provenance: Yares Art, New York; purchased by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery with funds provided by Kenneth C. Griffin, January 17, 2019. Provenance Note: The Nina Freudenheim Gallery served as an important venue for Larry Poons in the 1970s, especially as he transitioned into his "elephant-skin" phase. The gallery was not just a commercial space but a curatorial platform that supported experimentation and new ideas in abstraction. Poons’s exhibitions there helped establish him as a leading figure in American abstraction during a time of significant change in the art world. During Poons’s exhibitions at Freudenheim’s gallery, his work was critically reviewed in prominent publications like Artforum and Art in America. These reviews often praised his ability to combine color and texture in new and exciting ways, and critics were especially drawn to the material nature of his paintings. The gallery’s role in exhibiting Poons in this context was crucial for broadening his visibility. As art critics and curators took notice, Poons’s work began to resonate not just in New York but also in international art circles. Larry Poons has always been something of a maverick who trusts his instincts and never minds fashion. He first became known in the early 1960s for stripped down "dot" paintings whose combination of evenly stained color, punctuated with small precise lozenges, aligned him with Color Field, Minimalism and Op Art in one fell swoop. By the late 1960s, he had gone heavy-duty, creating thick, creviced topographies of paint poured on horizontal unstretched canvases soon designated the "Elephant Skin" series. By 1971, the canvas was back on the wall, and Mr. Poons was throwing paint from cans and buckets, always aiming high. It ran down the surface in thick rivulets as funkily literal as they are associational. Words like vines, rain, waterfalls and fountains run through the mind in this rare and wonderful show, titled "Ruffles Queequeg + The Throw Decade 1971-1981." (The reference to Queequeg of "Moby Dick" fame is a transitional wavelike work.) I can imagine these pieces holding their own against Monet’s "Waterlilies." In an essay in the catalog, Frank Stella, the painter and Mr. Poons’s friend, calls him "Mr. Natural," which seems accurate.
