6. Untitled (Stoffbild) (1967-1969) by Blinky Palermo price tag of $1.7 Million
The artist may have died because of drug abuse, but his artworks were left behind for us to appreciate his art.
His works are anything but psychedelic, instead, are full of simplicity. Blinky Palermo was known for making use of plain fabrics cut out in rectangles, then stretched and stitched over simple frames.
All those elements are found in his Untitled (Stoffbild), a piece of artwork that even The New York Time describes it as “a large square panel of cotton fabric on burlap… painted with two bands of solid color of uneven height, respectively dark blue and turquoise.
In 2010, the piece was purchased by Gerhard and Anna Lenz for $1.7 million during a Sotheby’s London auction.
