Andrew Wyeth - Helga
I was finally able to get my hands on a copy of Andrew Wyeth’s - The Helga Pictures. This is a beautiful book comprised of the 240 drawings and paintings he made of his neighbor Helga between 1971-1985, whom he used as a model for nearly 14 years in secrecy. In 1986, a collector paid $100 million dollars to keep the collection in tact. In 1987, the collection was part of a six-city museum tour that included a stop at the MFA in Boston.
On a side note…Mr. Wyeth will be 91 years old this Saturday.
