Notes/Literature: Art dealer, connoisseur, and philanthropist Eugene Victor Thaw (1927-2018) was widely considered to be among the world's greatest collectors of European master drawings, French Post-Impressionism, Cubism, and an early advocate of the American Abstract Expressionists. One of the most respected art dealers of his day, he is credited with placing hundreds of major works into museums around the world, and was the founding member and past president of the Art Dealers Association of America.

Good/Fair, popsicle stick lamp not tested (harp ill-fitting, socket loose and dented, may need re-wiring), bottle cap basket misshapen (possibly from original construction) and with some rusting, pedestal box with paint losses and chips (particularly at points) and lacking lid
