Color screenprint on wove paper. Signed and numbered in pencil. Published by Marlborough Graphics, Inc., New York. Flotsam by Adolph Gottlieb is a 1967 color screenprint that exemplifies the artist’s signature use of symbolic abstraction. Dominated by a large red orb and a smaller green one above it, the composition is anchored by a textured array of black splatters at the bottom—evocative of debris or organic matter adrift. The stark contrast of colors on the pale background creates a dynamic vertical tension. Characteristic of Gottlieb’s Burst series aesthetic, this print explores elemental oppositions—order and chaos, solidity and fragmentation—through bold minimalism. Published by Marlborough Graphics, the work is signed and numbered from an edition of 75.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
