This painting is titled, as per the artist’s catalog raisonne, as: Two Dead Fish in a Bowl16”x 20”oil on canvas1997Chuck Connelly I purchased this painting in March 2019 from Jill & Jose Arellano via an eBay auction. I acquired the painting as framed from them. I have never taken the painting out of it’s frame so as not to disturb the paper backing. I am selling the painting (with frame) as is. I have no reason to believe that the frame obscures any irregularities in the canvas. The painting is signed on the back by the artist and measures 16” x 20”. The frame measures approximately 22 1/4” x 36 1/4.” Seller pays shipping. The Arellanos forwarded to me a May 2011 receipt of the framing of the work which was billed to Joe Lorello, presumably an owner prior to them, along with 2 photographs. The photo of Chuck Connelly with the painting includes the writing on the photo’s back “Visit to his Phili Studio to pu (pick up?) paintings & to see his work 5/11.” These provenance items will be forwarded to purchaser as well.
