Artist: Ephiam Racker?

October 16th, 2011, 01:50 PM

I have recently acquired two paintings from Ephiam Racker the scientist
/artist and would like to find more information and examples of his work. I understand he was a recognized biologist and have been able find plenty of information in this regard, but his art is not easy to research. Apparently, he painted prolifically. Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks a million!

Just to clarify, I believe his name is spelled Efraim Racker.

I took a brief look online and only found this one work, a drawing that appears to be in ink.

I've taken photos of the paintings, including a closeup of the artist's signature. I hope this will help someone to assist with my request for more info.

I too have a painting by Ef, given to me by him after my sabbatical leave in his laboratory. I have some general information that can be supplied as email attachment.

Sadly my painting was modestly damaged in recent water spill, and I am trying to get a value for insurance purposes. Can you provide information the price you paid for your paintnings
