BRG is pleased to offer this collection of fine paintings hailing from the estate of William A. Drake, Canadian/American expressionist painter. This is an excellent opportunity for bidders to own fresh-to-the-market, never-before-offered fine art from a well-known and respected artist. The paintings in this collection were uncirculated and painted for the artist's own pleasure. These works have been stored in a closet within his son's home for the 70-90 years (give or take). Although William A. Drake's works were sometimes exhibited, these particular works were never sold -- until now. Happy bidding!

His works have been exhibited through the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, Salons of America, Montclair Art Museum, and Venice Biennale (1940), among others. William A. Drake died in 1979 at his Bergenfield, NJ home at the age of 87.
