Gerard Boersma (1976) - PH-972 (painting of a man enjoying a painting by Clyfford Still)

Gerard Boersma is known for his paintings of people in museums looking at famous paintings.

This work of 40 x 21 cm shows a man enjoying a painting by Clyfford Still. Rather than forcing a narrative, the meaning of PH-972 lies in the sheer physical experience of the color, scale, and texture and how it makes the viewer feel. It is widely considered one of Stills quintessential Abstract Expressionist pieces.

The work dates from 2026 and is made with acrylic on panel. Signed on the back and comes with a label of the artist as well as a Certificate Of Authenticity.
