We are researching the materials and techniques used by Gyora Novak
(1934-?), a self-taught Israeli sculptor who is known for his work with
black lacquer on wood, and clay. He exhibited at the Whitney in 66-67,
and again in 1980. At least, we believe this information to be
accurate. We don't know if Mr. Novak is still living.
If anyone can provide direction, please contact me directly.
Thanks.
