We met Karl Hagedorn in the 1990s when we were doing a show in New York. He came into our booth at the Pier Show, saw the kind of work we carried, and simply said, “I think you would like my work.” We did.
A lot of artwork has been generated in attempting to capture who Marilyn Monroe was! My personal favorite is the entire series created by Andy Warhol. A few years ago I could still think of purchasing them but not any more! This 1967 print sold at auction in April for almost $ 140,000 including buyers' premium! You can still find a "deal" or two but they are few and far between. On the other hand, Milton Greene photographed Marilyn quite a lot!
Little did I know, back in the days when we set up for the Modernism Shows at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington and 25th Streets that I was standing on hallowed ground!!! The first International Exhibition of Modern Art in New York hapenned here in 1913. It was organized by the Association of American Painters and Sculptors. It took place between February 15 and March 17, 1913 and it was the first large exhibition of Modern Art in America.
At the time both Prize-winners of the Grand Prix de Rome in sculpture and painting, Jacqueline Georges Deyme and Jean Marc Lange met at the Villa Medici in Rome between 1964 and 1969. It is the starting point of a fructuous, affective and professional complicity in connecting painting and sculpture, visible in exhibitions that they like to realize together.
