About the Item
In classic Sharp Edge 21st Century New York Style, Berlin acknowledges and shows solidarity with the world mourning the cruel death of George Floyd in the United States, and starting to come together to try to make sense of systemic racism. Black Lives Matter but the answer doesn’t lie in rioting, violence and looting and Berlin volunteers his solution; it’s a Spartacus style moment in history, collective responsibility. This piece fits within the radius of other pieces in the series, for example “Stamp Out Racism, We All from Africa”, and highlights Berlins overarching humanity & love of his fellow man.

Sax Berlin
We are privileged to sell works on behalf of Sax Berlin. Sax, arguably the finest exponent of 21st Century Classicism, has devoted his life to absorbing the culture of art and architecture in Europe, Asia & North America. He is undoubtedly a genius of our times and one of the great secrets of modern art. When one reviews his oeuvre, 10 distinct & separate styles emerge, displaying Berlin’s mastery of his subject. In fact only Picasso has achieved this height of genius. His students and collectors call him “The Master”. Berlin is a unique artist, using techniques mastered during his studies; ranging from antiquity through the medieval and Renaissance to the present; he creates the visual outcomes he wants and that delight collectors. The paintings Berlin has created in his New York, Greek and Cornish studios are of museum quality and are rarely seen in Art Sales offering a combination of beautiful artworks and investment opportunity. Harvard University refer to him as a Master Artist. The President of the Asia Society on Park Avenue, NYC wrote to Berlin that “your work is beautiful” and Bernard Faure, Professor of Asia Studies at Columbia University wrote “your icons really do have a life of their own”. Sax Berlin is a modern Master Painter in the truest sense of the term and follows in the footsteps of the Great Masters of the past.
