Pfingsttag 62 Ca Rondine. 1962.
Egg and oil tempera and sheet gold on primed canvas.
Bottom right signed, dated "Pfingsttag 62" and titled. 43.7 x 53.5 cm (17.2 x 21 in). [CH].
• Particularly large and balanced composition in fine colors.
• Exhibited in New York as early as in 1963.
• Part of the same German private collection for almost 30 years.
• Symbiosis of delicate wash and strong pigment, matte, translucid color mist and noble brilliance.
• Bissier at the climax of his success: In 1963 the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston honored him with a grand retrospective (also shown in Chicago, Detroit, New York (State) and Los Angeles), and in 1964 his works were shown at documenta III in Kassel.
The work is registered at the Archivio Bissier, Ascona, with the reference "Pfingsttag 62 Ca Rondine/Bildt.S.11_Diap.November 62/17". We are grateful for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
