Provenance: Zaplin-Lampert Gallery, Santa Fe, NM Turner Auctions & Appraisals, San Francisco, CA, 2019 Private collection, Texas Prior to a pivotal trip to Taos, New Mexico, Victor Higgins was in New York City, where he met and briefly studied under painter Robert Henri. Not long after he went to Europe to study in Paris and Munich. When he returned to New York, he was able to catch the Armory Show of 1913, particularly the work of Marsden Hartley. Henri, Europe and Hartley made Higgins realize he was dissatisfied with traditional art. He was in Taos in 1914 (with Walter Ufer), and the timing couldn’t have been more significant. The light and space in New Mexico unlocked all that was brewing in the artist. He would go on to become one of the more modern painters in the Taos Society of Artists.
