    Back in the 1960s, RCA Records hired Warhol, along with another freelance artist, Sidney Randolph Maurer, to design album covers and promotional materials.

  • Fortunately, many of Maurers friends intervened with encouragement and financial help to relocate him to the suburbs of Atlanta where members of his family had taken up residence years before. There, in the early 1990s, he began to recover and resumed painting.

    I have continued buying Mr. Maurers incredible works of art, many of which I have donated to various museums, universities, and hospitals which agreed to exhibit the works for a minimum of two years. Donation recipients include the UCLA Museum, Cedars Sinai Hospital, the Cal State Northridge Museum, and the celebrated City of Hope hospital.

    During the past decade, Mr. Maurers work has increased in market value more than three hundred percent (300%). His painting of me appears on the front cover of my recent book, A Leap from the Method. In addition, he created all of the portraiture that appears in the book.

    Sincerely, Allan Rich

    AAAAAAAA mmmmmmmmeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaggggggggeeeeeeee ffffffffrrrrrrrroooooooommmmmmmm

    AAAAAAAAllllllll llllllllaaaaaaaannnnnnnn RRRRRRRRiiiiiiiicccccccchhhhhhhh Sid Maurer is the first

    painter in the history of art who has created over 150 paintings of the great personalities of his own time. I have championed Sidney Randolph Maurer as a major easel and pop artist for more than fifty years. As the former owner and president of Allan Rich Galleries at 787 Madison Ave in New York City, I continually exhibited and sold Mr. Maurers work to major collectors during my 11 years in the art business.

    Upon my retirement from the art world, I became a collector of fine art. I continued to collect Mr. Maurers work even after tragic events stopped him from painting during the 1980s. While preparing for an upcoming show at a major New York City gallery, vandals broke into his studio and destroyed more than seventy works of art. As a result, Mr. Maurer suffered mental health issues that eventually provoked physical health issues making it impossible for him to hold a brush in his hand.
