About the painting
City Landscape is the title given to a series of several abstract expressionist oil paintings by 20th-century American painter Joan Mitchell. Art critics have described the abstract works in the series as cityscapes, with their colorful, central elements each resembling a grid found in urban planning. The central density of painting techniques and the outer spaces are both widely critiqued.

The most prominent version is held by the Art Institute of Chicago and has been frequently lent out on exhibition for retrospectives of her work. This is a work that is associated with Mitchell as an exemplar of her work. Mitchell produced many artworks of a similar style during the mid-1950s. Rockefeller University sold one work in the series in 2024, receiving just over $17 million for it at auction after deciding to list it to fund scientific research. Both well-known versions were painted in 1955 and acquired from the Stable Gallery in 1958 after limited exhibition exposure.
