Literature:
Jim Guest, “Perspective 86: Will Gorlitz and Nancy Johnson,” Canadian Art magazine, Fall 1986, page 29.
Notes:
Canadian Art magazine (Fall 1986) described Gorlitz as ranking among the most significant new Canadian artists. In the review of “forest pictures”, in which the viewer is situated as if standing on the forest floor looking straight up into the sky, the reviewer described works like this lot as “beautifully painted and calculated to produce an uneasy whirling sense of vertigo.”
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
