Lot Essay

Relatively unknown as an artist during his lifetime, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein (1910-1983) created a prolific and diverse body of work over the course of almost 50 years. His paintings often depict abstract scenes evocative of nature or fictional settings, and used a range of tools For his earliest paintings, he repurposed boxes from the bakery he worked for and used them as panels. He soon began purchasing art supplies from a local store, implementing a range of tools such as fingers, sticks, combs and chicken bones to apply and manipulate the pigments. In the 1970s and 1980s, Von Bruenchenhein did a series of 'tower' paintings, such as the present lot. These imagined cityscapes and fantastical architecture are abounding with energy.
