Steel Grey 1959

"Steel Grey" (1959) is a compelling abstract work by American artist Conrad Marca-Relli (1913-2000). The piece showcases Marca-Relli’s signature style of collage, where he assembles fragments of painted and textured surfaces, creating a dynamic composition. In this work, he uses a limited palette of muted grey and green hues, highlighting the interplay of shapes and textures, reminiscent of the gritty urban landscapes of 1950s America.
