Provenance:

Literature:

Paul Duval, Eric Freifeld, The Yaneff Gallery, Toronto/London, 1977, page 117 and page 130, reproduced.

Note:

Paul Duval writes: “Toronto Skyline remains one of Freifeld’s most effective cityscapes. Limited in colour to cool blues, with accents of Paynes Grey, it is almost oriental in its directness of execution and cryptic simplicity.”
