Provenance: A private collection in Indiana circa 1995 Likely created in 1995 for a solo show at Suzanne Brown Gallery, Ed Mell’s Expanse of the Desert shows a panoramic view of Arizona in all its glory with low-lying mesas, rocky desert peaks and a brilliant cloudscape. Mell would acquire much of his reference material by either driving Arizona roads or flying through its skies in a helicopter, which could maneuver places a car couldn’t, allowing the artist to glimpse stunning views few have ever seen.
