Red Painting by Joseph Marioni, Oil on Canvas, Joseph Marioni (American, b. 1943), ca 1970s, unsigned; 85.25 x 37.25 in. A Cincinnati native, Joseph Marioni has been a force in monochromatic paintings since the 1970s. Purchased directly from the artist, this painting is a fine example of typical Marioni work with the raised vertical drips and visible texture of the paint. The single hue color of the painting belies the intricate process employed; it is actually made up of many slight tonal variations in order to create a more vibrant and true color.Estimate $10,000 - $15,000.
Starting Bid $10000.

This collection of Marioni paintings are examples of early monochromatic works with this specific painting featuring two slightly different variations of yellow.
Estimate $10,000 - $15,000. Starting Bid $10000.


I know where I'd rather spend USD20,000.
