Recently, a thoughtful woman emailed after discovering the website. She had purchased a piece at a Cranbrook graduate student exhibit long ago!
She describes the experience:
The actual size is about 40" x 40" and it is signed "Khoury" and dated '64. I also have the 'price tag' including his name, that was on it at the time we purchased it. ($45.00) Putting the price in perspective: In 1964/65 I was teaching at a grand amount of about $5000 a year -- my grocery budget for a family of 3 was about $30. a week. Spending $45 on a painting was a big deal for us and my husband at the time was not enthusiastic about the expenditure!
She was kind enough to take a photo of the piece in her home. We are always certainly glad to hear of people who had purchased Sari's work over the years and continue to enjoy it.
