Description: For sale is a wonderful original artwork by the highly regarded American artist Ruth Root Provenance: The Collection of American Artist Donald Baechler. Baechler had a large collection of contemporary artwork from numerous artists in his estate collection. This is one of them. Root’s eccentric paintings dazzle and perplex with their play of geometry, color, and found images. Here she uses gouache oil and acrylic mediums to create an abstracted scene with morphic forms and horizontal bandings over two vertical YES words crossing over eye like shapes. The artwork is signed "RR" on the reverse (See pic) Condition: Overall good. Some surface scribbling to lower area but it looks original to the work. Gallery framed under glass.
