Descrizione dettagliata lotto

"The Washington Color School gave me a chance to fit into a future, rather than fit into what was domestic. In Washington, in the '60s, you could see where you wanted to go; you could see what you were thirsty for. you could feel the beckoning of the future—the ability to open up, to think about universals, spiritualism, all the things that a world contains.” (Sam Gilliam)
