Painted Stone Relief -Hand signed and numbered by Appel // Karel Appel’s Floating Family (1976) is a vibrant painted stone relief that exemplifies his bold and expressive style. This circular work, hand-signed and numbered, features abstract, overlapping faces and forms that seem to emerge organically from the black background. Rendered in bright reds, blues, yellows, and greens, the figures appear interconnected, evoking a sense of unity within the chaos. The rough textures and layered shapes bring depth to the composition, creating a tactile quality that enhances its sculptural presence. Floating Family captures Appel's fascination with primal expression and the interconnectedness of human forms, transforming stone into an energetic and emotive celebration of family and togetherness.

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.
