![Richard Diebenkorn - Untitled [1976]](http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1506/25463468355_0dbf9a45b1_o.jpg)
An intimately scaled work on paper by Richard Diebenkorn (1922 - 1993), the present piece was executed in 1976, during the height of the artist’s acclaimed Ocean Park series. Possessing the same geometric division of the picture plane and the same luminous manipulation of colour as these momentous paintings – many of which populate the most esteemed museum collections across the globe – this work extols the mastery over colour and light that represents the signature core of Diebenkorn’s oeuvre. Given to the present owner as a gift by the artist, this rare work on paper has remained in the same collection for almost forty years.
