Oil on canvas, 42 x 60 in., signed and titled on verso and inscribed Felix Landau Gallery, Los Angeles on verso and with gallery label.

The artist was described by Michael Duncan in 1997 in Art in America as follows: "Vastly underrecognized, California painter John McLaughlin remains an "artist's artist," a maverick geometric abstractionist whose unsettling, exploratory canvases thrive on a particularly Asian style of paradox. With its refinement and formal austerity, his is one of the century's most coherent bodies of abstract work. Using simple geometric forms and sparse coloration, McLaughlin imbued every nuance of his reductive abstractions with weight. As a maker of enduring objects for contemplation, he is also a crucial West Coast predecessor for Light and Space artists such as Larry Bell, James Turrell and Robert Irwin."

Lot #27: FRED MITCHELL (b. 1923): HOMAGE TO VALERI
Oil on canvas, 36 x 36 in., titled on stretcher with a Howard Wise Gallery label dated 1963 on verso.

As a young abstract painter in New York, Fred Mitchell met regularly with a group of fellow artist who shared his artistic concerns: Charles Cajori, Lois Dodd, Angelo Ippolito, and William King. These New York School artists founded The Tanager Gallery in 1952 to show the kind of abstract expressionist work that at the time was still considered un-American or unacceptable. His work is included in the collections of the Columbus Museum of Art-Ohio and the Weatherspoon Art Museum (University of North Carolina).
