About the work

Piza’s work from 1953 to 1958 was predominantly organic and expressionist, echoing Max Ernst, for example. In the late 1950s an orderliness emerged, approaching the structural expression of Johnny Friedlaender, and by the early 1960s, Piza found his voice in an earthy but orderly placement of shapes, almost always adorned by gouged triangles that created motion and energy (not unlike Robert Goodnough’s flying shards). In this work he achieves a summit; balancing order and chaos, tightness and looseness. It is not happenstance that the Museum of Modern Art has chosen this picture as one of the works representing Piza in its collection.

This work is custom float-framed to museum standards in a wood frame behind 99% UV-blocking art glass using strictly conservation-grade materials.
