Billy Al Bengston

1934-2022

"Puerto Escondido," 1977

Watercolor, ink, and pencil on paper
Initialed, titled, and dated in pencil on the lower edge, at center: B. A. B.
20" H x 15" W

  • Provenance: Artist Studio, Venice, CA
    James Corcoran Gallery, Los Angeles, CA

    Other notes: Pencil notations on the Artist Studio label affixed to the verso of this frame's backboard indicate that this work was once part of the James Corcoran Gallery inventory. Matching the other Bengston watercolor in this sale from the same source, it is likely that the Corcoran Gallery label used to be affixed to the frame's backboard where there is now only a patch of dried glue.
  • Condition: Overall good condition. A very pale, rice-sized foxmark in the blank of the upper right quadrant. The paper is buckling very slightly, recto, from the hinge on the verso of the upper right sheet corner. Not examined out of the framed.

    Framed under glass: 27" H x 22" W x 1" D
