Kessler > End-of-year Update > Recent Placements

A few days ago Rockwell (Sense Fine Art, Menlo Park, Ca.) installed this new painting in a San Francisco high rise with a nice view of Alcatraz through the window on the right.
This painting below was the first one to sell from my current exhibition at Schmidt Dean Gallery in Philadelphia and I just heard that two more have been sold to N.Y.U. Medical Center in Manhattan.
Maren Bargreen Mullin (Gallery Mar, Park City, Utah) just placed this piece in a house in Park City.
