About the Item
Tom Lieber is known for his dynamic abstract expressionist paintings, which focus on the human energy, experience, feelings, and processes of receiving and expressing. Lieber uses his powerful intuition to project the state of his inner being onto the canvas, enriching the paintings with strong emotions. Influenced by nature and meditations, Lieber believes that the body can be better equipped for creating than the mind, treating the act of painting as a full body experience with his spontaneous gestures and fearless approach to the canvas. The grace and shape of his bold lines appear over subtle neutral backgrounds with pockets of dense color and movement. His artworks are included in many prominent private and public art collections, including Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Museum of Modern Art San Francisco (SFMoMA), San Francisco, Tate Modern, London, Oakland Museum of California, Oakland, Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, and Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles (MOCA), among many others.

Tom Lieber
Artist Tom Lieber’s Abstract Expressionist paintings have a distinct visual language. They are energetic and powerfully emotive yet contemplative through a use of graceful, bold lines, dense colors and neutral backgrounds.
Born in 1949 in St. Louis, Missouri, Lieber attended the University of Illinois where he graduated with a BFA in 1971 before obtaining his MFA in 1974. The following year, Lieber received an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1982, he was selected for the “Emerging American Artists’ Exhibition” at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
In 1983, Lieber began a collaboration with artist Garner Tullis to create large-scale monotypes. Through Tullis, he met influential artists such as Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, John Walker, Sean Scully, William T. Wiley and Friedel Dzubas.
Since the mid-1980s, Lieber’s abstract paintings, inspired by nature and meditation, have been characterized by his calligraphic mark-making, underlying color fields and masterful tonal variations, often anchored by a single brushstroke. His monumental, oil paint-laden canvases recall the works of Joan Mitchell, while his subtle use of color evokes the art of Mark Rothko.
In the 2000s, Lieber has been inspired by living in Kauai, Hawaii. This is evident in his landscape works and abstract prints such as “Hot Water,” “Lava” and “Black Drop X.”
Lieber’s paintings have been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally at solo and group shows. His works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Tate in London.
