Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto
Notes:
Christmas Cactus is an exceptional example of Aba Bayefsky's (1923-2001) expressionist style of painting. Working with emphatic shades of blues and green, Bayefsky's subject pulsates with energy, the spikey tendrils warning: look but don't touch.
