Howard Daum
American · 1918
Howard Daum was an American modernist associated with the Indian Space Painters, a New York group of the 1940s and 1950s that fused abstract composition with the flattened, interlocking space and pictographic motifs of Native American art. Working in a semi-abstract, tightly structured idiom, Daum produced paintings and works on paper that have drawn renewed scholarly and collector interest as this once-overlooked movement is reassessed alongside figures such as Steve Wheeler and Peter Busa. His work appeals to collectors of mid-century American abstraction seeking something beyond the familiar names. Rosenfeld Gallery handles secondary-market works by Howard Daum.
