He has produced thousands of woodcuts, etchings, lithographs and silk-screen prints. He also creates using oil and acrylic as well as some sculpture. Irving Amen had a studio in New York City for many years but moved to Boca Raton, Florida in the 1990s, where he is still producing his art.<BR/><BR/>He is represented in many major art galleries and museums of the world including the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History in Washington, DC.<BR/><BR/>Many of Amen's works have a Jewish theme. One masterpiece is his set of twelve windows at Congregation Agudas Achim in Columbus, Ohio depicting the Twelve Tribes of Israel.<BR/><BR/>Much of Amen's work depicts women and children and music themes. Chess, Venice and Don Quixote are the subjects of other works.<BR/><BR/>Amen also taught classes in sculpture and printmaking at such schools as the Pratt Institute (1961) and at University of Notre Dame (1962).<BR/><BR/>In 1974, Amen illustrated the classic, Gilgamesh, for the Limited Editions Club with nine 3-color woodcuts and 7 part-page black and white woodcuts and linocuts.</I>"</B><BR/><BR/>Right now, I'm thinking I might hold on to (her) the "Cellist" for a bit, I'm falling in love with (her) a little more each day!<BR/><BR/>Speaking of "falling in love with (her), here's a pic of the newest love in my life... isn't (she) beautiful?!?!<BR/><BR/>"<A HREF="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/banksworld/1aCellist-Amen0.jpg" REL="nofollow">The CELLIST</A>"<BR/><BR/>BTW -- If anybody has access to "AskArt" or whatever the look-up service is called, I'd really appreciate any comments re: recent/any sales history for IRVING AMEN - SCULPTURE<BR/><BR/>You can just post any info here or email me directly at banksworld@yahoo.com. <BR/><BR/>Just put "Irving Amen Sculpture" in the subject line so I won't delete your email! ;-) <BR/><BR/>LOL!<BR/><BR/>Thanks in advance for your knowledge<BR/><BR/>GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!Stephen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09734175842986458579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625331701930991995.post-46399283088156494852008-05-15T05:08:00.000-05:002008-05-15T05:08:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stephen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09734175842986458579noreply@blogger.com
