"Allie"

Former tennis player, teaching professional, collector, author, art lover, and life-long Washington, DC-area resident Allie Ritzenberg was a great friend of artist Sam Gilliam. Gilliam created this graphic to honor the long friendship between the two men.

Sam Gilliam is associated with the Washington Color School, Abstract Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction. Gilliam’s love of color has assured his prominence in the art world as an exciting and innovative contemporary artist.
