THE ART OF LIVING
In the Saleroom: Richard Diebenkorn's Ocean Park No. 117
At Christie's May 13 Evening Sale of Post-War and Contemporary Art, Richard Diebenkorn’s Ocean Park No. 117, 1979, a consummate work for the artist, which luminously illustrates the best qualities of his most celebrated series of paintings, achieved $6,578,500, just shy of the artist’s auction record of $6.76 million. Through his use of bright and cool blues and yellows, the artist communicates the ephemeral quality of nature, capturing the sensation and radiance of the coastal environment in which this work was created.
