Nachlass des Künstlers
Privatsammlung
Jules Olitskis „Beauty of Eve“ (1989) ist ein Beispiel für die charakteristischen „Mitt“-Gemälde des Künstlers, in denen Farbfeldabstraktion, Gestik und Textur zu einer reichhaltigen taktilen Oberfläche verschmelzen. Dicke Acrylschichten werden mit ausdrucksstarken Bewegungen unter Verwendung unkonventioneller Werkzeuge wie Handschuhen, Besen und Rakeln aufgetragen, um die physische Tiefe und materielle Präsenz der Farbe zu erforschen. „Beauty of Eve“ verkörpert den Höhepunkt dieses Experimentierens.
