"Argente" Wall-Mounted Cabinet
1967
model no. PE-39
produced by Paul Evans Studio for Directional Furniture Company, New York
welded and dye-painted aluminum, painted wood
singed Paul Evans and dated 67
36¼ x 24¾ x 13 in. (92.1 x 62.9 x 33 cm)
Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. Characteristic of Evans’ “Argente” series, this cabinet presents with a variety of abstract motifs, surface treatments and dynamic contrasts between black and reflective silver. The metal surfaces overall present with irregularities and great texture which are inherent to the artist's practice. The metal surfaces present with faint scattered scratches, light scuffing and small indentations consistent with gentle handling, as well as instances of oxidation and minimal tarnish consistent with age.
Due to the nature of fabrication and hand-made quality of this series, the doors do not rest perfectly flush with one another, not visually distracting.
The interior presents with a textural green and brown paint and is fitted with one adjustable shelf covered in black faux leather.
Provenance:
Private Collection, Riverdale, New York, circa 1967
Acquired from the above by the present owner
