Merger 1987

Mark Kostabi’s "Merger" (1987) presents a simple scene of four figures in a minimalist style, their bodies and faces rendered in shades of red, yellow, and blue. They are engaged in a handshake, perhaps suggesting a coming together, a merger of some kind. The figures are largely headless, yet their brightly colored hats and green glasses add visual interest and contribute to the overall geometric feel of the painting, characteristic of Kostabi's work.
