Robert
A must-have for the serious collector and admirer of Kaufman art! As an owner of many paintings by this artist I can happily recommend this book for any fan or serious collector of Steve Kaufman art. Being a catalogue raisonne, it is packed with details and pictures of artwork as well as a very descriptive synopsis of each piece. Also included is a great biography of the artist as well as some valuable information as to the types of pieces such as AP, PP, CP, TP and such, that many people/collectors might not know. I enjoy each and every one of the paintings in my collection and I appreciate the opportunity to own so many of these great pieces. This catalogue is a great tool to maintain the integrity of Steve Kaufman’s art. Read more
