Lot 350: Paul George Laffoley, Jr. (American 1935-2015)

Paul George Laffoley, Jr. (American 1935-2015)
“The Nihilatron”
diagrammatic painting that functions like a visual map of a speculative system, combining dense text, symbols, and geometric forms into a single unified structure. At its center, a radiating circular form anchors a network of charts and explanatory panels that suggest an exploration of energy, consciousness, and metaphysical order rather than a traditional narrative scene
Mixed media, oil, acrylic, ink, and vinyl press type on canvas
Signed on verso Paul Laffoley
74″ x 73 1/2″
Provenance: The Boston Visionary Cell, 30 Bromfield St. Room 200, Boston, Massachusetts

This report is provided by Nadeau’s Auction Gallery as a courtesy and reflects our opinion only. Bidders should conduct their own due diligence. The absence of a report does not imply the lot is free of issues. Assessments are based on visual inspection; unless noted, items have not been examined under UV light, movements and electrical components have not been tested, and artworks are generally not removed from frames. We are not professional conservators, and this report is not a comprehensive condition evaluation. Images provided form part of the report and should be reviewed carefully. All sales are final.
