Description
CHRISTOPHER MALLORY WILMARTH (1943–1987)
Double Clearing, 1973
Sculpture on glass, signed
41 x 82 x 2.5 cm
Provenance:
- Paula Cooper Gallery, New York, 1996.
A discreet yet distinctive artist, whose work embodies a form of sensitive abstraction.
He works with the material with an almost meditative attention, blending refined forms
with internal tensions. His practice, often sculptural, engages with emptiness, balance,
and a certain formal rigour.
Double Clearing (1973) is a sculpture that perfectly embodies this approach. Two
forms open out, echoing one another, as if suspended in space. Versilion, a
smooth, dense synthetic material, allows for a subtle interplay of light and contrast. The work seems
to hold its breath, poised between tension and tranquillity.
