Offered here is one of a small group of original manuscript art reviews by the noted artist Walter E. Baum that I will be listing over the next week or two.. . Acquired at auction in Sept. these reviews came directly from the artists studio in Sellersville Pa which has been recently sold. W E Baum wrote art reviews for the Philadelphia Bulletin for many years. They were weekly columns which I believe were published in the Sunday edition but am not completely sure on that point. His last review was in mid 1956 shortly before his death. The reviews I am offering cover the years 1953, 54 and 55. There are two types of reviews- the rough draft which is written in pencil and the final draft which is typed. The rough drafts generally run around 10 hand written pages and the typed drafts about 5. The rough drafts all are signed in pencil at the heading and the typed drafts also have typed full signature at the heading. Most are in very good condition with occasional soiling, dogearring, and foxing. All of these reviews will be offered with no reserve and a nominal opening bid. Local pick up will be available. If you are reading this I assume you know Baum and his significance in the American art community of the mid 20th century. No need to bore you with what you already know. This is the real deal and a rare chance to own a great piece
