THE COLLECTION OF HERMAN KRAWITZ

Herman Krawitz and his wife Rhoda became acquainted with many artists working in New York throughout the 1950s and 1960s. They were early patrons of the artists Robert Indiana, Arman and Boaz Vaadia. Notably, Herman Krawitz and Robert Indiana worked together on the 1976 New York production of the opera “The Mother of Us All,” by Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson. Indiana designed the opera ephemera and Krawitz headed the musical production team and worked on the editorial committee. Indiana had already received attention for his paintings LOVE, EAT and ART. In 1976, during the production of “The Mother of Us All” he published his iconic LOVE series in an edition of 2,275. Indiana personally dedicated one of these prints to his friends, the Krawitz. Keno Auctions is pleased to offer this limited edition signed print (lot 1).
