Vibrant Abstract by George Obando, "Unity and the Americas", 1997
About the Item
A really wonderful vibrant abstract by George Obando marked on the reverse and titled "Unity and the Americas," dated 1997 and oil on linen. I cannot find out much about the artist, but it bears a KMA entry label which I believe stands for the Katonah Museum of Art and a price of $13,000.00. It is unframed. There is minor paint loss and some roughness to the edges as it is not framed from handling.
