Lot Report

Provenance:

Private Collection, Toronto.

Literature:

Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov, Charles Pachter, Toronto, 1992, colour plates 118 and 119 for other depictions of the artist’s barn paintings.
Charles Pachter, M Is For Moose: A Charles Pachter Alphabet, Toronto, 2008, n.p., for a 2004 version of Red Barn Reflected reproduced in colour (representing “R is for Red Barn Reflected, what beautiful colours the artist collected”).

Note:

Describing the creative process in the artist’s original barn series, Welsh-Ovcharov writes: “In 1987 Pachter began working with an electronic graphics program that enabled him to sketch and store variations of a visual idea. Green Barn Reflected, 1988, and Oro Barns Seen From My Window, 1989 (collection Centre d’Art Presence Van Gogh, St. Remy de Provence, France) were both composed in this innovative new medium.

We extend our thanks to Charles Pachter for providing important
information in the cataloguing of this work.
