Stefan Edlis
Stefan Edlis (1925 in Vienna, Austria – October 15, 2019) was an Austrian born American art collector and philanthropist. As a collector he initially focused on Pop Art. Biography Edlis escaped Nazi Reich annexed Austria with his mother and two siblings in 1941 and emigrated to the United States. He was later drafted into the U.S. Navy and stationed in Iwo Jima where he buried Japanese prisoners. Edlis founded Apollo Plastics in 1965 and initially only collected art made from plastic. He later found out that art dealers told artists to create works in plastics because "Stefan would buy it". In 1977 Edlis began his foray into forming a major collection with his purchase of Piet Mondrian’s ''Large Composition With Red, Blue, and Yellow''. He then proceeded over the next four plus decades with his wife and collecting partner Gael Neeson to create a major collection of Pop Art and other closely associated art genres. Among the works in his collection were Roy Lichtenstein's 196 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
