In other words, it was the first time Congo made a purely artistic decision. The red, black, and yellow canvas from 1957 marked the first time Congo altered his classic fanned out pattern-a gesture apes make when spreading out leaves for a nest-in the name of composition. He’s holding onto one painting, though: Split Fan Pattern with Central Black Spot. (The majority of Congo’s works were sold in 1957 after appearing in the Morris-curated exhibition “Paintings by Chimpanzees” at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.) “I now would rather that the paintings and drawings be made available to other collectors, to whom I hope they will bring as much pleasure as they have to me,” says Morris of his decision to part with his collection now.
Congo died from tuberculous in 1964 at the age of 10. Morris’s findings were collected in his seminal 1967 book The Naked Ape: A Zoologist’s Study of the Human Animal.
