Identify this Artist

August 15, 2004 9:12 AM

I'm looking for info on a print I recently bought at a yard sale. The print is of a surrealist ink drawing. The main subject of the drawing is the Palace Bathhouse in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It is signed as "Kahn '77". Does anyone have any idea who the artist is or has anyone seen this drawing before? It almost looks like an illustration from a book.

I'm coming up with Julie Kahn Valentine. She seems to live and currently exhibit pieces in Eureka Springs. You may want to try calling one of the local galleries for contact info.

She works for Eureka Fine Art Company. The various things I could find about her suggest her forte is watercolor/oil and not ink, but that does not elimnate her, just doesn't confirm her as the one. Let us know if you get ahold of her. This is kind of interesting, a 37 year old drawing finding its way back.

Response by poster: I just got an email back from the manager of the Palace Hotel. The drawing is by Julie Kahn and is entitled "The Palace Nightmare". Thanks for your help everyone.
