Sale 2472 - African-American Fine Art, April 5, 2018

Exhibited: Vincent Smith: Recent Works , Portland Museum of Art, Portland, Maine, July 26 - September 1, 1974, with the label verso. This expressionist work is a significant canvas by the artist, and the first of his large, mid-career 1970s canvases to come to auction. Attrition demonstrates not only the artist’s focus on the social and political issues of his urban landscapes, but includes wonderful display of his painterly technique. [25,000/35,000]
