Lot Report

Note:

David Bierk’s artwork often quotes the art of Master’s past. Here, the artist praises Paul Gauguin in his translation of “Yellow Hay Ricks (Fair Harvest), 1889”, an artwork currently housed at the Musee D’Orsay in Paris. Bierk reflects on the rich palette and subject matter while creating a fascinating dialogue between the original composition and its contemporary setting.
