Franz Kline (1910–1962), Sheridan Square, New York, 1940
Oil on canvas, laid on board. Promised gift of Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld, Scenes of New York City. © 2021 The Franz Kline Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.
Kline frequented Greenwich Village, a haunt of artists with whom he would pioneer the bold and
gestural style of Abstract Expressionism.
In this early painting, he pictures a neighborhood landmark. Now a garden, the triangular
intersection once hosted political campaign speeches, community gatherings, troop drills, and
children’s play.
