Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto
Notes:
This work is part of a semi-abstract series on dance that the artist did in gouache on paper and oil on canvas. Gilot moved to southern California in 1970, and the bold colours and movement in this lot reflect the influence that this new location had on her.

The Françoise Gilot Archives have confirmed the authenticity of this work; it is registered as #G.2047.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
