Poons was a member of The Druds, a noise music band that also featured artists Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol.Description
Originally trained as a musician, Larry Poons brings a pulsing rhythm to his paintings. In this work, dynamic painterly gestures variously seep into and hover above a bold field of yellow. The abstract image is composed to keep the viewer’s eye in constant motion.- (Leo Castelli Gallery, New York).1969Agnes Gund, New York, NY, gifted to the Cleveland Museum of Art1969–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
