Executed in 1976, 'Nude' exemplifies Tom Wesselmann’s distinctive synthesis of sensual figuration and bold graphic abstraction. The composition is defined by its flattened forms, sharply delineated contours, and striking chromatic contrasts, with vivid reds set against rich black passages and luminous flesh tones.
This present impression is particularly distinguished by the exceptional preservation of its colouration. Whereas other impressions are frequently encountered with attenuated or faded pigments, the colours here retain a remarkable vibrancy and saturation, preserving the visual immediacy and formal intensity central to Wesselmann’s conception of the work. Signed and dated in pencil.
