The paintings shown here were hidden for over 30 years and just resurfaced in 2011. They were originally purchased in the 1980's by London’s best-known and most successful dealer in antiquities at the time, Robin Symes. In 2011 the Symes collection was auctioned off by a bankruptcy court and my paintings among them. The paintings have never been in any shows since my selling them to Mr. Symes. Some of these paintings hung at the Rockefeller Guesthouse on 52nd Street, a building designed by Philip C. Johnson in 1948,which at that time was owned by Mr. Symes. I have not seen these paintings for many years, nor do I know where they were kept since Robin Symes sold the Rockefeller Guesthouse to Ronald S. Lauder in 1989. The whereabout of many of these paintings is unknown to me.
