Louis Stern Fine Arts is pleased to present a selection of early works by Helen Lundeberg (1908-1999), created between the 1930s and 1950s. Before dedicating herself fully to the hard-edge abstract approach that would characterize the majority of her career, Lundeberg's painterly works featured a recurring repertoire of inscrutable objects, cunning manipulation of perspective, and strategic subversion of expectation. These delicate works conjure worlds that skim the peripheries of reality and recognition, inspiring intrigue, curiosity, and introspection.
