Al Loving

Untitled, 1994 (Paint and Cardboard Collage, 12 x 25 Feet)1

This fascinating collage painting is an outstanding representation of Al Loving's later work in paint and collage, a style he termed material abstraction. Loving was one of the foremost African-American artists working in the abstract expressionist style. In the late 1980s, Loving joined the faculty at the City University of New York.2
