Provenance: |
Game Piece was initially in the collection of
Roger Trlak. Roger Trlak (1934-1975) established the commercial art
company of Martin-Trlak in Chicago. In 1972 he also opened the RST Gallery
in Scottsdale, Arizona where he exhibited not only his own large collection
of mostly contemporary art but also held important exhibitions of many
modern artists. These Included such major American and international
printmakers as Joseph Hirsch, Luigi Lucioni, Jacob Landau, Birgit Skiold,
Derrick Greaves and Paul Wunderlich. Among Trlak's closest friends in
the arts community were Raphael Soyer, Ivan Albright and Hans Burkhardt.
Contemporary prints and paintings were constantly exhibited at the RST
Gallery until it was closed in 1975 due to Trlak's untimely death. |
