PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF BARBARA JACOBSON
Rivers' oeuvre demonstrates relentless and inspired experimentation. From his training in jazz (an intrinsically random and experimental form) to his refusal to be bound by abstract expressionism alone, the artist explored an array of styles, techniques, and media. From his wide ranging curiosity about history, music and art, Rivers integrated life and art as a complex whole. Captivated by mass-produced imagery, Rivers presents the viewer with an irreverent, gesturally taut Little French Money, an ultimately painterly composition which demonstrates his ability to ambitiously bridge the gap between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.
