This painting on paper is by pioneering Minimalist Lyman Kipp, one of the original founders of ConStruct, the artist-owned gallery that promoted and organized large-scale sculpture exhibitions throughout the United States. Other founding members include Mark di Suvero (a flamboyant self-taught former construction worker known for his bombastic industrial steel I-Beam works), his protege John Raymond Henry, and constructivist masters Kenneth Snelson, and Charles (Chuck) Ginnever. However, Lyman Kipp, the most under-recognized of that group, is arguably one of the best. His work is pure Minimalism, celebrated in the groundbreaking 1966 group show "Primary Structures" at the Jewish Museum. Kipp is known for his use of strong vertical and horizontal strokes and objects in his compositions, as exemplified in this exquisite work on paper.
