Nathan Slate Joseph (American, 20th Century). Oaxaca II, 2004. Steel and pigment. Signed, titled and dated on the reverse. Measures 42.25 in. high x 36.25 in. wide x 1.75 in deep. 

Condition: In good condition. There are a few scattered losses to the welds. Some scattered surface soiling. Scattered possible abrasions that might be intrinsic to the work. 

 Nathan Slate Joseph, an integral member of the New York School of Art for more than forty years, blurs the boundary between painting and sculpture. Alluding to issues of globalization, immigration and climate change, he collects shards of discarded steel and stains them with raw pigment and acid. After exposure to outside weather conditions, the steel acquires rich, saturated color and varied textures. The steel plates are cut, layered and assembled to produce intricate and dimensional arrangements that merge urban aesthetics with a concern for nature.
