My Friends Are Gone... 1928

Raleinn

A lone figure, half clown, half ghost, bowed in defiance beneath yellow decay. Graphite and charcoal, smeared and erased, capture the instant between collapse and eternity. The paint bucket, the brush, the scarred wall; emblems of vibrancy surrendered to time.

The board itself is warped, stained, alive with history.

Provenance: Vaulted for decades, recently unearthed. Believed to be the work of an anonymous master who never sold in his lifetime. One-of-one.

Medium: Watercolor on Paper 16x20

LOT 32

Estimate: $3,000,000
