Michael Tracy (1943-) is a major figure in American Postwar & Contemporary art, particularly in Texas. His paintings straddle the line between complete abstraction and figuration. It depicts a reenactment of a Mesoamerican “prayer,” as Tracy puts it, and is contextualized (or de-contextualized) through mostly illegible text scrawled in primitive, rigid, and angular lettering. Lacking any punctuation or spacing, a mode that’s loosely in line with Tracy’s own writing style, the accompanying text is suggestive of a dreamlike progression, syncing up with the imagery in a cryptic way. Encased in a tin, contemporary variant of a Mexican Nicho box. Measure 27”h x 31”w. Item comes from the collection of Timothy Koock. Ships from Austin, Tx.
