The much desired Allison Zuckerman’s “Oh the Wind is Blowing” was also delivered to us yesterday. We can’t believe we finally have Allison in our collection. We thank Richard and Eileen Ekstract for opening our eyes to this magnificent talent a few years ago. It was @lbweissman (Leslie Weissman) who helped us secure one of Allison’s most important creations which was at the @kravetswehby, NYC show. Thank you Leslie, you are a dynamo. This painting
encapsulates Allison’s commitment to preserving and celebrating the enduring legacy of Jewish culture. Yet, it also serves as a sobering reminder of the atrocities committed by the Third Reich regime, systematically targeting Jewish families, pillaging their homes (going ‘from door to door’), and confiscating their prized possessions, including artworks. Today, 100,000 paintings looted from Jewish families during the Holocaust remain unreturned.
The weight of this historical injustice reverberates through her exhibit, “From Door to Door,” underscoring a pressing need for restitution and remembrance. #stopantisemitism

We just had this masterpiece installed today. It’s called an Assemblage. Created by inventive genius @shultismike (Mike Shultis). The piece was exhibited at one of the best galleries in the country @librarystreetcollective in Detroit. Superwoman and internationally celebrated artist @allisonzuckerman curated the show. If Allison is involved in a project, you know you are in the world of solid gold collecting. Eliot and I saw this piece and snapped it up in 15 minutes. We credit the positive energy of Gallerist extraordinaire @melaniebaerschwartz who helped us every way possible purchase and love it. Thank you @fountainheadarts for taking us on the trip to Detroit. The piece is called Booty and La Bete, 2022. Oil, acrylic, wig, costume jewelry, pearls, silicone ear, silicone legs, silicone feet, zip ties, inkjet transfers, antique gown, mink scarf, taxidermy zebra rug, fake fly, purse, gloves, fake flowers, fabric, velvet, hat, toys, stuffed animals, slippers, hair brush, mirror, comb, Gucci swim bottoms, duster, fake eyebrows, fake eyelashes, wood, string, staples, screws, wallpaper and antique giraffe toy on panel 63 x 86 × 10 in. Thank you again Mike for the guts to think big.

Iran now has enough nuclear fuel for a bomb. Iran blames Trump for his miscalculations and defiance. Trump cut off negotiations with Iran. The threat of war in America grows everyday thanks to a con artist who has repeatedly failed in most of his business deals. Stop worrying about the price of cheese. You won’t need it where we and your children are going.

Jenna Choi and I worked closely together for years when my PR agency represented Samsung. I have been following this story for years. She and her husband have been everywhere to cure her daughter. This mystery has not been solved. If you can recommend a miracle please share with me so I can pass it along to Jeena. Thank you.
