Provenance:

Private Collection, Toronto, purchased from an art gallery in Toronto in the 1980s

Literature:

Illustrated in colour in the accompanying “Mark di Suvero" catalogue published by Gemini G.E.L. Los Angeles, CA.

Note:

The sculpture can be assembled in different configurations ranging from flat to a three-dimensional display of connecting parts. "Rising," executed in both nickel and copper versions, was shot-peened prior to the plating to achieve a surface that is non-reflective and rougher to the touch.

The collaboration between Mark di Suvero and Gemini on this series occurred during the period of February 1979 to February 1981.
