Paul Chelko; Untitled Abstract Oil on Board

Paul Chelko (1933-2007) was an American (Georgia) artist who was active for more than 40 years.  In addition to a long and very successful artistic career, he also taught art at various institutions in the U.S. and was a member of the White House Art in the Embassies Program.  His work has been featured in the High Museum of Art and The Smithsonian, and his collectors included Oprah Winfrey, Frank Sinatra, Vincent Price, and Coretta Scott King.  This signed abstract oil on board is an earlier work in its original frame.  If you've always wondered what it would be like to live like Oprah, here is an opportunity to share a bit of her (art) world if... "You get the painting, you get the painting, you get the painting!"  38" w., 28" h.  American, c. 1960's  SOLD
Condition:  Very good vintage condition with age appropriate wear and some chips to the frame.
