Description
Title: LA GERIA, LANZAROTE (TRIPTYCH)
Frame dimensions: 67.5 by 46.5in. (171.5 by 118.1cm)
Note: See note for lot 54In La Geria, Lanzarote (Triptych), each board is individually signed, perhaps an indication that they were conceived as separate works and later brought together as a three-piece suite. However, the harmony of colour and the gentle and fluid dialogue between each element would suggest they were conceived and executed simultaneously. Triptychs by O'Malley are rarely seen at auction and La Geria, Lanzarote offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire such a work. Both paintings represent the very best by the artist from arguably the most collectable period of his career.Adelle Hughes, November 2021
