Edwin Mieczkowski (1929-2017) Flare, 2008 Acrylic on canvas 24 x 24 inches (61.0 x 61.0 cm) Faintly signed, titled, and dated along lower edge: 2008 / "Flare" / Ed Mieczkowski Signed and dated on the stretcher: Ed Mieczkowski 2008 Property from a Distinguished California Collection PROVENANCE: Acquired directly from the artist. Edwin Mieczkowski's late works hold a significant place within his career and the broader evolution of modern abstraction. Known for his pioneering contributions to Op Art and geometric abstraction, Mieczkowski's later work reflects a refinement of his experimental approach to form, color, and spatial perception. These pieces are essential for their mature exploration of visual complexity, as they bring together decades of his research into optical effects, color theory, and perceptual ambiguity. In doing so, Mieczkowski's late works capture the culmination of his lifelong dedication to exploring how art can engage and challenge the viewer's perception.

Unlined canvas. A disruption to the paint layer in upper right corner, apparently occurring when paint was wet and original to production. A small loss to upper edge in upper left corner. Some scattered small dots of discolored accretion and what appears to be errant paint. Minor surface dust. This lot is offered unframed.
