Item Description
See Richard Merkin biography in item #2088. This art is c. late 1970s. 32x48” sheet of masonite has mixed media original painting with wonderful images of smiling Laurel & Hardy along with Mickey Mouse as Steamboat Willie. Hardy figure is pointing to “Laff Movie” hand-lettered title. Bkg. has abstract designs. Some wear around edges with bumps to corner tips but image area will frame to Exc. appearance. Bright color and great design. The art is not signed but comes with a typed and notarized letter on Merkin’s personal letterhead from his widow attesting to his creation of this work. Very conservative opening compared to prices for his work in galleries.
