Hand signed by the artist // Levitation by Adolph Gottlieb is a limited-edition serigraph created in 1969. This abstract work consists of bold, organic shapes in striking colors, including a vivid red, a warm orange, a deep black, and a lush green. The forms float against a stark white background, creating a sense of balance and energy despite their asymmetry. The piece reflects Gottlieb's exploration of symbolic abstraction, where simple shapes and vibrant colors evoke emotional responses. The composition suggests weightlessness, aligning with the title, as if these forms are hovering in a serene, meditative space. Gottlieb’s use of color and shape conveys a powerful visual language that invites interpretation.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
