We believe this to be a later 1960s work due to its relatively large size, canvas (instead of Masonite) substrate, and restrained use of collage. Mark leaves significant painted areas to stand on their own, without the heavy emphasis on overall texture seen in her early works. Here, she concentrates the kraft paper elements at center. Demonstrating her great sense of color, Mark's choice of the intense primary red pops against the neutrals of gray, rust and stark white, as well as the thick, calligraphic black brushstrokes.

This Abstract Expressionist collage painting was exhibited in Mark's first posthumous solo show Art of the Abstract Mark: Libbie Mark’s Collage Paintings and Other Works, 1950s–1960s, January 18–February 25, 2022 at the National Arts Club, New York, NY, as well as Mark's first posthumous solo gallery exhibition at Berry Campbell, New York, NY: Libbie Mark: Collage Paintings (1950s–1960s), May 23–June 22, 2024. It is featured in the 56-page exhibition catalogue for Art of the Abstract Mark, which contains 27 vivid full-page color reproductions, two essays, a chronology, and additional illustrations. The catalogue is available online, and at Berry Campbell.
