Known for his “experimental” use of white paint, Ryman created this work in 1970 by applying enamel paints intended for metal onto cotton canvas. Over time, the materials became so fragile that the painting could no longer be displayed. “White is not always white,” explains auction house expert Simone Wichmann; It reveals light, movement and texture.
Ryman, who was not trained as an artist, became famous for his controversial works, but collectors sold them for millions.
