Deleted: Part of the Private Estate Art Collection of a Los Angeles Collector

of Mid Century Art (1920-70’s), who passed away in 1999 in the USA.

Acquired via his son in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 

Deleted:In several weeks of research, I’ve been able to conclude that the

collection belonged to a great lover of the arts, with quite a

variation in selection in his acquisitions. We can find paintings

containing abstract, portraiture, still life & landscapes;

along with quite a variation in photography from journalistic,

picturesque to mildly erotic. 

Deleted: It is my understanding, going through most of the archives,

that the collector had amassed an incredible quantity of

art history books, magazines, newspaper clippings &

hundreds of handwritten notes. I also conclude that the

collector, along with his research, conducted art history

talks at certain art institutions, I believe, as a self-taught

art historian of sorts, which depicts his real passion;

the sharing of his knowledge to others.
