Lot Essay

"More lost history, in this case the metaphysical abstractionists of the late '40s and early '50s. Lee Mullican is critical to the history of California art, and yet this world is just beginning to realize it. These palate knife paintings (and similar drawings) of Mullican seem like they are sliced from another and, possibly, better world."
