TOLLIVER, Mose (American, 1925-2006). Robert Bishop. [Ca. 1984]. Acrylic and housepaint on plywood. Signed on lower center by the artist. Approximately 21 x 15 ¾”. This is a portrait of Dr. Robert Bishop, a past Director of the Musuem of American Folk Art in New York City. Bishop has been quoted as saying about Tolliver, “You can hang him beside a Picasso, and you have the same kind of creativity and deep personal vision”. Right and left margins cut a bit unevenly, some marginal light chipping due to the nature of the plywood. Previous gallery stickers on verso of the Kimball Sterling Auction. Excellent.
