Creator: Alvin Loving
Offered by: Flavor

Description
Framed, signed poster by Alvin Loving (1935-2005).

Below is an excerpt from an online source.
Detroit-born Loving earned an MFA from the University of Michigan in 1965. He began hard edge painting of cubes and hexagons in 1967. After his first one-person exhibition at Gertrude Kasle gallery in Detroit in 1969, Loving launched his New York career. Gertrude Kasle provided Loving with letters of introduction to Harold Hart of Martha Jackson Gallery and Steven Wilde and Bert Walker, curators at the Whitney Museum of American Art, where he was given a critically acclaimed, one-person exhibition in 1969. Loving was the first of a group of African-American artists whose work was shown at the Whitney during the 1970s, including Frank Bowling, Frederick Eversley, Melvin Edwards and Alma Thomas - except Edwards, all were abstract painters. The Whitney purchased his painting Rational Irrationalism. All the other works in the exhibition were sold privately and he signed with William Zierler Gallery.
