During conservation of Arshile Gorky’s 1947 painting ‘The Limit,’ another work by Gorky was discovered beneath it on the same original stretcher. Bearing a clear relationship to the series of drawings the artist produced in the summer of 1946 on a property owned by his wife, Mougouch’s, family in rural Virginia, the new work, ‘Untitled (Virginia Summer)’ (ca. 1946-47), provides fresh insight into the nuances of Gorky’s mature style.
On the occasion of a special exhibition at our New York gallery of these two works side-by-side, along with six other drawings Gorky produced during that summer in Virginia, Cosima Spender and Valerio Bonelli have produced a film chronicling this discovery and the context in which Gorky produced these works.
