- Lot Description
Large Tinsel Foil Painting of a Still Life
This is a large and exceptional fine American tinsel or foil painting featuring a full wreath encircling an urn of flowers on a green base. Although the use of a wreath in a tinsel painting is not at all uncommon, this particular format is extremely rare, if not unique. The flowers are so densely packed as to make the execution of the painting quite difficult. Further, there are 6 birds amidst the flowers, and the lower area motif has switched from flowers to fruit, including apples, a pear, and grapes.
Provenance: This painting was owned by Ingrid Bergman and was in her suite in the Lombardy Hotel. Alan Freed, commonly referred to as the "father of rock 'n' roll" due to his promotion of the style of music, and his introduction of the phrase "rock and roll", was the next owner. His daughter-in-law gave this work to the current owner.
