Riesenberg, Sidney

Main Magazine Cover
Price: $5,800.00
Description:  Couple in the laboratory
Comment:  Apparently relates to the story “Hidden Eyes” by Eric Levinson. I wish I had a copy of the magazine to include, but (especially for pulps) when you pass the hundred year old mark, they can be very difficult to find. I love the mood shown here and the interplay between the two figures. The photo of the art may be a bit soft of focus… very hard to capture this without excessive glare.
Price: $5,800  (includes domestic shipping)
