2021 News -- Art that turned up on First Dibs and in Boston

It's been a while since I've posted here....so long that the site won't let me update my email that's linked to this site...so if you want to contact me, you'll have to send it to marzukimarcy@gmail.com --- the old earthlink one is dead.

Meanwhile, over the pandemic -- a piece of my dad's artwork actually turned up on that very, very, VERY pricey sale site, 1stDibs....

It was one of his more elaborate metal sculptures...

I recognized it immediately as it is one of this Trojan Horse series. (He did one in clay that he always kept in his bedroom).

And, a quick look through his sketchbooks turned up some very detailed sketches of the piece. 

The asking prices was over 3k! Too rich for my blood. Fortunately, a  discerning collector in Spain bought it -- so we have a new sales price record!

And just the other day (which prompted me to update this blog) I heard from a former student of my dad's (now an important ER doctor in Boston) who has this lovely ceramic piece he inherited, (turns out my Dad and his Dad were Park Forest  friends and neighbors) that he was nice enough to share with me. It is part of the New City series, executed in clay (and doubtless very heavy) painted with metallic paint in an artist-made frame:
