Signed Drawing

An original pen and ink illustration of the great conductor by artist George Krishizki, boldly signed by Böhm and additionally signed, dated and titled by Krishizki: "Georges / 1978 / Karl Böhm conducting the New York Philharmonic in Symphony No. 2, D major, Op. 73 by Johannes Brahms / Pension Fund Benefit Concert / Monday Evening, March 6, 1978 / Avery Fisher Hall." 12 x 9 inches.

The Russian-Polish-American illustrator George 'Georges' Krishizki came to the U.S. in 1949; his on-the-spot drawings of musicians in performance attracted an appreciative audience. In a 1973 article published in conjunction with two simultaneous exhibitions, the artist explained the genesis of his long-running engagement with the concert hall: “I’ve always enjoyed going to concerts, and one day I decided it would be fun to combine my interests in music and art and make sketches of musicians during performances.” (14964)
