Going Sledding by Carol Simkin




Enamel: Powdered Glass Fired on Copper
8"x10" Oval


Carol Simkin used to visit The Max Karp Enamel Art Gallery in Nyack, N Y.before I became director of the gallery in the late sixties and after that time would visit periodically. She was a student of Max Karp and if she hadn't signed her work, there were times I couldn't tell their work apart.

This piece is from my personal collection. The frame is an Italian import.

While googling Simkin I finally found a gallery in Newport Beach, Ca. that has a single piece of hers for sale. It seems as though owners of Simkin's enamels are keeping them. Enamels are the jewels of the Art World.

Price on Request-smorantzgallery@gmail.com or call 201-943-9800
