Journey to World Peace

2006

This original work of surrealism with trompe l'oeil fantasy, signed by the artist lower right front, was painted as companion piece to a canvas presented in June 2006 to United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Given the role of Harry S. Truman in these historic events, and the inclusion of his likeness in the first composition, the Committee for World Peace commissioned this painting to be given to the Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs from where it is now being deaccessioned.

Canvas measures 50 x 40 with a framed size of 58.5 x 48 inches.

Provenance: The collection of the Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs

AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.
