Albanese talks about her connection and involvement with The Estate Collection of Arthur Pinajian.
Pinajian’s cousin, Aram Aramian, visited my showroom and immediately thought that my style and clientele offered the best fit for representing and selling some of his uncle’s art to private clients. Now we either bring clients in by appointment or bring a specific piece to a client’s home to see how well it fits with his or her design.
Arthur Pinajian (b. 1914 – d. 1999) was an Armenianborn visual artist and painter. His early career was in comic book illustration during the “Golden Age” of comic books, creating characters such as Madame Fatal and Invisible Hood. The later part of his life was spent drawing and painting at his family home in Bellport, LI. The full body of his work was largely unknown until 2007, when his family discovered a wealth of his paintings forgotten in the garage since his death. Pinajian’s work is an excellent study in American abstract expressionism.
