Presented by Joseph Dasta Antiques Paul Lobel (1899 - 1983): The accomplishments of Paul A.

In the summer of 1926 Lobel exhibited 35 works, including drawings, etchings, paintings, metalwork and sculpture, in a one-man show at the Grande Librairie Universelle in Paris.

An homage to the beauty of Elizabeth Taylor inside and out. Two artists worked on this piece. One did the portrait, the other added all the elements of fashion and glitter. The earring is created by artist as are the eyelashes, the designs on the background, the beautiful brains, the hair, the dress. One of a kind beauty. About the collaborators: New York artists Serge Strosberg and David Mandel fuse the visual language of Flemish and German portraiture with fantasy jewelry and fabric design. Both artists present a very contemporary and unlikely mixture of works heavily inspired by their personal histories characterized by decadence and eccentricity of the NYC club...
