1949-A-No.1 (1949), by by Clifford Still, courtesy of Artnet
In one corner, we have 1949-A-No. 1 and 1947-4-No. 2 by Still. In the opposite corner, Abstrakes-BGD and Gudrun by Richter. These paintings initially fail the test of abstracto-singularity (standing alone like Jackson Pollock's Full Fathom Five or Barnett Newman's Vir Heroicus Sublimis or the alleged Pollock/Tony Smith collaboratiom Blue Poles), because they are so redundantly expressive of each artist's repetitive methods.
