Provenance: |
Old Locomotive originates from the collection
of Roger Trlak and bearing his inventory number, 'T-791', on the verso.
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 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. |
