UNTITLED (NO. 218)

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 such as fingers, sticks, combs and chicken bones to apply and manipulate the pigments. The present lot is reflective of Von Bruenchenhein’s fascination with the mysterious and unknown and is abounding with energy.
