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

1990s and early 2000s. The artist’s compositions balanced large areas of saturated color with surface, collage and painterly punctuations. Other works from this period with a similar angular geometry include Townsend’s Tantric , 2000, and Secret Garden , 2001. This later period was exhibited just as the artist’s earlier career began to be celebrated - with the first of several retrospectives, including Bowling Through the Century , a British touring exhibition organized by Eddie Chambers in 1996-97, and Frank Bowling: Bending the Grid at Aljira, A Center for Contemporary Art, Newark, NJ in 2003.
