Godel An American Vision

Our gratitude goes first and foremost to the private collectors who have allowed us to reproduce their paintings and watercolors in this latest installment of our American Vision series of catalogues. I think that they will be thoroughly satisfied with the excellent photographs by Allan Tarantino, informative en- tries by Thomas Quick, and elegant design by Christopher Kuntze. Katherine Baumgartner edited the catalogue and our interns Avery Kaye and Madeline Love assisted in researching the works. Our staffstrives toprovideour clientswiththehighest level of serviceonadaily basis. Katherine Baumgartner, Ellery Kurtz, and Noelle DeSantis bring wisdom, taste, and discretion to every interaction. Thanks to Noelle’s management of our inventory and Lynn Tramondo’s bookkeeping, we run a very tight ship. Upstairs at Fine Art Frames, Edward Holland and Nino DeLeon have pre- sided over the expansion of our framing business despite the recession. We continue to offer a wide selection of high-quality period and reproduction frames, knowledgeable service, and fair prices. Finally, I would like to thank the private collectors, curators, and advisers who make up our distinguished clientele. In addition to offering you the finest paintings, we are also committed to assisting you with research and appraisals; conservation, framing, and lighting; and storage and shipping. Thank you for allowing us to do what we love. Howard J. Godel Acknowledgments
