Haven't heard of Mehretu before. She is certainly interesting. I like the combination of Abstract Expressionism [Pollock] and Classical Chinese art here.

I agree.  My son lived in San Francisco for about 8 years and sent us a book of her art.  New to me prior to that.

G.C. Myers. Local artist who now commands big prices for his landscapes. Luckily I got my hands on a few originals before he made it big.

Another two by Ed Moses. Great artist. Versatile work.
