We note with sorrow the passing of acclaimed African-American artist Sam Gilliam. Gilliam was a master colorist, an explorer of the possibilities of abstraction, and an artist interested in the physical nature of painting. He was perhaps best known for his “drape” paintings.

We will show work by Gilliam at the upcoming Hamptons Fine Art Fair, July 14-17.” #samgilliam #artadvisory #blackartist #blackachievement #paintingoftheday #abstractexpressionism #abstractart #interiordesign #blackartists @hamptonsfineartfair #thehamptons #southampton https://www.instagram.com/p/CfVDSgiLRHf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
