Brooklyn’s very own award-winning stone sculptor and artist Robin Antar recently had some of her work purchased by the Atlanta-based collector and philanthropist Todd Zeldin.
Zeldin is known in the Atlanta area as an avid art collector, and he collects and sells art in order to support the arts community in Atlanta. By purchasing Ms. Antar’s sculptures, Zeldin has shown that he believes in the type of work that she is doing, and he feels that it will be received well by the people of Atlanta. After all, Zeldin is no stranger to collecting art, and he knows good art when he sees it.
Specifically, Zeldin showed an interest in Ms. Antar’s “footwear” collection, as he bought 10 of her “footwear” pieces. Out of the 10 pieces, 4 of them were original works, while the other 6 were reproductions. The following is a list of some of the pieces that he bought:
