They describe the work (Lot 109) as follows:
"In this later abstract work by Delaney, the artist employs a limited yet sophisticated color palette of vivid hues to create an almost rhythmic exploration of the interplay of color and form."
This signed, framed work is estimated to sell for $15,000 to $25,000.
