Museum-worthy Franz Kline

Franz Kline (May 23, 1910 – May 13, 1962) was an American painter. He is associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement of the 1940s and 1950s. Kline, along with other action painters like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, John Ferren, and Lee Krasner came to be known as the New York School. Kline’s work is distinct in itself and has been revered since the 1950s. This large and impressive Kline is in an equally superb museum-worthy frame. There is a Kootz Gallery certificate verso along with a much older Marlborough Fine Arts certificate indicating that it was displayed in its 1948 summer exhibition.
