Did You Know?
In 1967, Mitchell purchased a two-acre estate in Vétheuil, France, the gardener's cottage of which had previously been home to Impressionist Claude Monet.Description
During the final quarter century of her career, Joan Mitchell made a significant number of multipanel paintings, including Some More, comprising three equal-sized canvases whose composition bridges their shared edges. While the painting’s color and texture connote nature—such as a bed of flowers or shimmering sunlight—its rhythmic interaction of brushwork also suggests a source in music. In fact, Mitchell loved listening to opera while working in her studio during this period.- 1981(Xavier Fourcade, Inc., New York, NY, 1981, sold to Private Collection)1981–2012Private Collection, consigned to Sotheby's New York, NY2012(Sotheby's, New York, NY, November 14, 2012, no. 122, sold to Nancy F. and Joseph P.
