So sad to hear this from Anne Irwin (one of my favourite art galleries in Atlanta).
I am delighted to say that I have 3 works by Mr. Cohen, and I love each one of them equally....
Framed by
Digital Arts Studios,... in an industrial-metal frame with
riveting.
What a loss to the Art Community.........
Arthur Cohen
2012
It is with great sadness that Anne Irwin Fine Art announces the passing of one of the great 20th century artists, Arthur Cohen. Anne represented Arthur for over 10 years and became a great friend of the artist. His education was stellar including Cooper Union and the Art Students League where he became a contemporary of such artists as Motherwell, Calvin Trillin, Ben Sonnenbery and others.
Cohen, was a bright and shining star in the art world, having been represented by the Forum Gallery in New York as well as showing in galleries all over the North East. His awards are too numerous to list, but among the most prestigious are: the Pollack-Kasner Award, Guggenheim Award and the Child Hassam Purchase award. American Academy of Arts and Letters.
He was in renowned collections, Joseph H. Hirshhorn Foundation, J. Walter Thompson Agency, New York, Bank of Boston among others.
Perhaps the most important acclaim he received was from his peers. He hangs in the private collections of Wolf Kahn, Lise Motherwell, and other well know artists.
His museum Collections reads as a who’s who in the art world. Among the most prestigious include Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, Boston Museum of Fine Art, Hirshhorn Museum, Washington DC.
Arthur Cohen was a accomplished man and one that will be sadly missed in the art world. And by those that collected his work.
