Updated August 12, 2026

Acrylic/Canvas. Title: Black and White Pumpkin Composition Technique: Acrylic on round canvas Measures: 31 inches diameter (78.7 cm) Year: Contemporary Condition: Good overall condition with minor surface characteristics consistent with the medium. Circular format with black-and-white painted surface. Please review all photographs as they form an integral part of the condition description. Provenance: Private collection, Miami Beach, Florida, USA. Visual Description: A striking monochromatic composition centered on a large pumpkin form constructed from dense fields of repeating white polka dots against a black ground. The pumpkin is surrounded by an intricate network of irregular linear cells extending across the circular support, producing a strong contrast between the organic central form and the web-like surrounding pattern. Variations in the scale and concentration of the dots create volume and movement while maintaining a highly graphic black-and-white appearance.This hand-created artwork offers collectors an opportunity to enjoy the visual language, technique, composition, and artistic characteristics associated with the named artist at a substantially more accessible price point than authenticated works by that artist, which may command significantly higher prices in the established fine-art market.
