Leonard Auction to Offer Richard Anuszkiewicz Painting from Pinnacle Era
(For immediate release, August 10, 2023): Op-Art pioneer and master Richard Anuszkiewicz’s 1971 oil on canvas entitled "Rustic 348" will hit the auction block on Sunday, August 20th at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time (America/Chicago).
The piece is classic Anuszkiewicz in its use of color, geometry and artistic conception to achieve vibrancy, light and movement. “The image in my work has always been determined by what I wanted the color to do,” he said in a 1974 catalog. “Color function becomes my subject matter, and its performance is my painting.”*
