- Item:
"The Mourners: Necropolis" SOLD
- Artist:
Richard Farralla. (1916-)
Attended CSFA
(F.F.A. in 1955) and San Francisco State College 1956. Previously
a painter, he turned in 1959 to sculptures and reliefs assembled
from small scraps of wood, which he generally painted black or white;
like the wood sculptures of Louise Nevelson, they were built around
an essentially Cubist formal vocabulary, animated by a Byzantine
intricacy of surface pattern and richness of texture. His earliest
works were mosaics made of geometric bits of wood gathered from
construction sites. In the early 1960's he began to use driftwood
and his constructions became more organic.

"Art in the San Francisco Bay Area"
