Lot 516: Sam Gummelt SIGNED VINTAGE 3X5 Card Noted American Artist From Texas

SIGNED VINTAGE 3X5 Card Noted American Artist From Texas. Boldly Signed in marker (see pictures). SIGNATURE: "SAM GUMMELT."

SAM GUMMELT (born 1944). Since the 1970’s, Texas native Sam Gummelt (Born in Waco, 1944) has built a leading reputation as one of Texas’ leading non-objective abstract artists. He is a rightful successor of the first and second generation of non-objective Texas artists such as Toni Laselle and Joseph Glasco. His solo exhibition in 1979 at the Fort Worth Art Museum (now Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth) at the age of thirty four brought him much recognition as a committed Modernist painter. Gummelt courts Jasper Johns and Brice Marden as serious influences. Marden’s waxy surfaces triggered Gummelt’s investigation and use of divergent materials as did John’s use of objects. Even more so, John’s remarkable use of the color gray to blanket a painting had a profound and continued influence on Gummelt’s work. Gummelt builds many of his larger works by assembling either canvas panels or wooden panels resulting in modular constructions. He often manipulates the wooden surfaces by cutting shallow horizontal and vertical grooves in the panels. The formal components of these works come via lines and negative spaces of the boxes while playing against a variety of materials and rich surfaces. Gummelt’s work is in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Old Jail Art Center, and other Texas institutions and private collections.
