Framed original art by artist Michael Young: "Urban Golfer"

Framed artwork 40" x 40". Has authentication certificate. Appraised at $1750 in 1992.

Artist Michael Young opened a downtown studio/gallery in Leavenworth, Kansas, but after several years felt the need to learn the anatomical figure, so he moved to  New York City in 1978. There he studied at The Art Students League, Salmagundi Club, and took private classes with Bill Weltman, a world famous anatomy instructor. He met his agent Pat Carlson and introduced his work to the national publisher and gallery chain Dyansen, painting mostly in the Art Deco style. Together they produced dozens of lithographs and serigraphs with shows at many fine galleries across the country. Hundreds of works later he slowly developed a strong desire for a break with tradition. His  paintings have became experimental and rebellious, undergoing a change in concepts and techniques he calls "Prismatism". https://michaelyoungfineart.com/  Donated by Marc Mazer.

Framed original art by Carol Summers: "The Likiang"

Framed art 34.5" x 34", Donated by Marc Mazer. Market research estimated value $1200. https://www.davidsongalleries.com/collections/carol-summers?page=2

Carol Summers was born in 1925 in Kingston, New York. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bard College in 1951, studying with Stefan Hirsch and Louis Schanker. Summers created his prints through a process he developed in the 1950s that became known in as the "Carol Summers technique": soaking large blocks of wood in ink, he placed them in patterns on one side of a piece of paper in order to, as one reviewer described his work, "give beautiful, blurry, shapes to the other side. The results are simple, decorative and uniquely vibrant."

Summers's work is part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.In addition to his art, Summers had a career as a teacher, serving as an instructor at Hunter College, the Brooklyn Museum School, Pratt Graphics Center, and Columbia University.
