10: ALFRED WANDS (1904-1998) TAOS VIEW OIL ON CANVAS BOARD

Alfred James Wands (1904-1998)
Taos in September (Late 1970s)
The fine large work with an adobe structure, a golden Aspen and purple foothills near Taos is signed lower left front.

A gift to the current owners who were friends with Alfred Wands, this work was painted from life. The artist provided his friends, the recipients, turn-by-turn directions to the location near Taos where he found this picturesque setting and re-created the scene. He also provided them with the painting title listed here.

This marks the first time that this work has ever been offered for sale.
The work itself measures 24 x 30 with a framed size of 31.5 x 37.5 inches.
Very good, to fine original untouched condition. There are no issues of scratches, losses, repairs, in-painting or touch-up. Examination under UV light confirms the complete absence of inpainting or touch-up.
$3,000 - $5,000
