Provenance: "My father, Lee Drucker, was once a friend of Bernie Krigstein, and is acknowledged in Greg Sadowski's biography of Krigstein. I believe the drawing was a gift from Bernie to my dad, and I inherited it when my dad died in 2001" - R. Drucker, consignor. Bull Fighter: "My ambition... was to be what is humorously described as a 'fine artist.' I use that term with a great deal of question because it's a lot of bull... I don't think there's much difference in any of the fields... all the arts are part of one big phenomenon." — B.
