The canvas known as PH-247 emerges from the year 1951, a moment when Clyfford Still was deep within his exploration of abstraction. Created in New York, NY, this oil on canvas work carries a nickname that speaks to its intense presence: "Big Blue." The title itself, a mere alphanumeric designation, reflects the artist's preference for a visual language that resists easy categorization or narrative labels.
Created in 1946, this oil on canvas avoids a central focal point to prioritize a dynamic interplay between colossal, irregular shapes. These vertical forms extend from the top to the bottom of the 178 x 107 cm surface, generating an upward thrust that disrupts visual equilibrium. The arrangement allows spaces between the masses to breathe, fostering a palpable sense of unease through carefully crafted asymmetry.
In the vast, emotive landscape of Abstract Expressionism, few works command the room with such primal intensity as Clyfford Still’s 1948 C. This monumental canvas is not merely a painting but an immersive environment, a swirling vortex of warmth that captures the very essence of elemental energy. Dominated by a radiant palette of sun-drenched yellows and searing oranges, the work feels as though it were forged in the heart of…
In the vast, emotive landscape of Abstract Expressionism, few works command the eye with such raw, elemental energy as PH-923. Created in 1974 by the master of organic abstraction, Clyfford Still, this painting serves as a profound testament to the power of non-figurative language. At first glance, the viewer is met with an expansive blue canvas, a deep and immersive field that suggests both the infinite reaches of a twilight…
Created in 1957, PH-160 by Clyfford Still exists as a field of pure color. The canvas holds a dialogue between blue and yellow. These hues do not merely sit upon the surface; they occupy the space with a heavy, physical presence. The blue carries a weight that anchors the composition, while the yellow provides a sharp, sudden light. It is a quiet collision of elements.
In the vast, turbulent landscape of mid-century American art, few voices resonate with as much primal intensity as that of Clyfford Still. His masterpiece, PH-272, stands as a monumental testament to the dawn of Abstract Expressionism, inviting the viewer into a world where color and texture transcend mere representation to touch the very essence of existence. Created in 1950, this work is not merely a painting but an immersive environment.…
Created in 1956, this oil on canvas composition operates through a language of fractured planes and intense chromatic tension. The work avoids representational forms, opting instead for a structural arrangement of blue and white fields. A sharp, white line cuts across the upper register, creating a stark boundary that disrupts the visual flow. Below, two distinct blue areas dominate the foreground, their irregular shapes suggesting a sense of geological or…
To stand before 1950 A No. 2 is to witness a profound dialogue between light and shadow, a visceral confrontation with the elemental forces of nature. As a seminal work from the height of Clyfford Still’s creative powers, this masterpiece transcends mere abstraction to become an existential landscape. The canvas erupts in a dramatic interplay of deep, pulsating reds and brilliant, sun-drenched yellows, creating a sense of movement that feels…
Clyfford Still's "1950-W," painted in 1950, stands as a pivotal work within the trajectory of Abstract Expressionism. More than simply a painting, it’s an immersive experience—a visceral confrontation with color and texture that speaks to the anxieties and burgeoning energy of postwar America. This piece, rendered in layers of intense yellow and gold punctuated by strategic reds and whites, isn't about depicting recognizable objects; instead, it plunges directly into the…

Pick a decade to see its standout piece.
A man sits in the center of the frame, his presence heavy and resolute. He wears a hat and a scarf, his attire suggesting a certain formality, perhaps a coat draped loosely over his shoulders. His glasses catch the light, framing eyes that look directly at the viewer with a serious, unyielding expression. He is not alone in this space; two other figures linger in the periphery, one to the…
