I have a beautiful painting also buy Straski...the one i have is a Rabbi sitting and reading by candle light...it appears he is in a cloth made from the materials they used in the camps. I once was able to reach a place called "The Tree of Life" I am not sure it was a long time ago. but it was in Chicago and they wanted me to bring in the painting. They had other works from him. I didn't have a chance at that time to do so. But they felt his works where very valuable and knew what I had. My painting has a certified # on the back. It is so beautiful and I can't believe these paintings could go for little money. I can feel the presence of the rabbi as if he where in the room. we need to get this great artist known. He deserves better.

I also have a painting of a Rabbi by Straski. Bought it at an art auction about 35 years ago. I don't have any other info.

In the 1970's Abraham Statski livied in Coxsackie, NY with his wife. My husband went to his home to repair some lawn equipment. He was working on a painting at the time and my husband admired it. When he returned to complete the job Mr. Statski gave my husband the painting and told him that this one was not commissioned so he could not sign it. He changed his mind and signed it anyway. Apparently it was to be his last. It is the Sleeping Rabbi. The Rabbi is sound asleep with his hand holding up his head and the other hand hanging holding an open Torah.

My husband has about 15 Rabbi Abraham Straski original oil paintings and one sailor painting. They were all purchased by my husband online over the past 10 years. We paid anywhere from $70 to $600 apiece. We are hoping that some day they will be worth much more than that.
