Katherine Nelson Drawings
Katherine Nelson, who studied with Hans Hoffman and was a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, later created decorative designs for the Glidden Pottery, located just a block from the campus of Alfred University, where she taught. This moody, melancholic portrait, drawn in the 1940s as Parker's career and business were prospering, is a fascinating window into the world of art and artistry after the Second World War.

Original Edith Head 1940s Sketch Dorothy Lamour Paramount
Located in Palm Springs, CA
Unique and rare opportunity to own an original mixed medium costume sketch drawn by the famous costume designer Edith Head, at Paramount Studios.
