On March 11, 2010, in Buffalo, New York, the Postal Service will issue a 44–cent, Abstract Expressionists commemorative stamp in ten designs, designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland In celebration of the abstract expressionist artists of the 20th Century, Art Director Ethel Kessler and noted Art Historian Jonathan Fineberg (Gutgsell Professor Art History, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign) selected ten paintings to feature on this colorful pane of self–adhesive stamps.
Kessler used elements from Barnett Newman’s Achilles (1952) to frame the stamps.
The arrangement of the stamps suggests paintings hanging on a gallery wall.
For design purposes, the sizes of the stamp are not in relative proportion to the paintings.
The pane also features selvage text and a quotation by Robert Motherwell.
Each stamp includes the artist’s name and verso text that identifies the painting and briefly tells something about the artist.
