Portrait of Lincoln by M. Khachatryan - Oil on canvas

Mher or Max, he responds to either name, when he isn't busy creating his art for another show, will happily accommodate the gallery by accepting commissions to paint portraits for clients. Multi-talented, Max can also reproduce works in oil with incredible likeness from photos.

The Lincoln portrait measures 20"x24". Max will paint another if I sell this one or paint one of his choices for display.

Having been an auctioneer I will accept the first bid of $200. Contact the gallery.

Lincoln In Dali Vision by Salvatore Dali

Print
Size: 29.50"x22.50" unframed
Edition: 516/750


I don't have a problem seeing the image of Lincoln without the use of a certain eye gadget that was issued along with the original lithograph.

On my blog is an original signature of Dali. I suggested that it could be included in the framing of an unsigned graphic by Dali. Well, here is one of them and The Persistence of Memory is also available. Treat yourself.

Fulton Market by Ardis Hughes

FULTON FISH MARKET BY Ardis Hughes

Original Lithograph
Pencil Signed
Paper: 28"x22"
Image: 19.50"x24.25"
Edition: 23/225

I didn't know what I was getting into when I decided to research the history of the South Street Seaport. I'm glad that I did. Even if you are not a New Yorker I promise that the events that have taken place since it's onset in 1737-1756 on a landfill extension of Manhattan will fascinate you. I'm in awe of the place this curiosity of mine has taken me: Summerlin, a planned community 7.5 miles from Las Vegas, named after Howard Hughes' grandmother. Go know that the H.H. Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life. Summerlin is a Top Ten Master Planned Community.

Inquiries are welcome on "Fulton Market".
Do your own googling for the rest of the saga.

Still Life In Pink,White And Orange by W.Horner

 

Oil Painting
20"x24" unframed


If I painted this you can be sure the selling price would be three times higher because you would have a biography of the artist.As long as the artist is unknown to me (I don't have the time to do the researching,and if I did I still wouldn't bother) my rule of thumb is,"I see it, I like it, it's affordable, I buy it". Once in awhile an artist emerges and becomes recognized and if I followed my intuition at the time of this purchase I pat myself on the back.

A lot of my buying involves intuition. It doesn't take intuition to buy a Picasso. Just money. And I have one that I'd like to sell! I haven't put it on my blog because I'd really like the pleasure of selling it in person. I can just imagine how many emails or calls I'd receive from Picasso owners wanting to sell me theirs or wanting to know how much theirs is worth.

Getting back to W.Horner....a gift at $450 unframed. If I had painted it...$1200.

Inquiries are welcome. smorantzgallery@gmail.com or call 201-943-8900

Regatta by Susan Pear Meisel

Original Lithograph
Pencil Signed
Printer's Proof-PP
Paper: 29.25"x23"
Image: 26.50"x21.25"


If I know my people, you'll want to know it's history. How much history can this innocent piece have? It doesn't look like an Invitational Yachting Competition where a trophy is awarded to the winner. America's Cup? Not likely to us but it could be to Susan P. Meisel because of the fun she has in interpreting colorful, well known places and events which invite the portrayal of group scenes. There are details and plenty of them if you take the time to discover them.

This printer's proof was a gift to me from the publisher, Edward Weston, now deceased. His graphic company was on Mercer and Prince Street located in a landmark building purchased by Mr Weston circa 1973-4 and I was elected to "run the company". I welcomed the gift of art any time. Now I'm in the throes of selling the collection I've en massed but holding onto enough that I cannot part with.

Please contact the gallery for more information. I'm sorry, I'm not interested in purchasing your Meisel. Enjoy it in good health and for the reason you purchased it .
