Harold Krisel, American (1920 - 1996)
Harold Krisel (1920-1996) studied architecture at the Chicago Institute of Design's New Bauhaus from 1946-1949. He became a member of American Abstract Artists in 1946, and retained this membership for the duration of his life. Krisel completed his graduate studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1952 He then worked as an architect at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill until 1966, when he joined the faculty of the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan where he taught architecture until his retirement in 1981.
His work may be seen on the walls at the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport, the sculpture on Butler Circle on the Wofford College Campus, and now through a generous donation of forty prints by his estate, the permanent collection of the Spartanburg Art Museum.
In addition, an extensive collection of his designs adorn the walls of the Milliken & Company textile facilities in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

It has been a great yardsale season. Spotted two of his images recently for 5 dollars and it was late on a sunday. They would have gone in the trash.

New rule
in our home. Stop at even the cheesiest yard sales. We almost did a drive by.
McMansion fake cape. Recent build. I was thrilled to get some restaurant quality sheet pans for focaccia we have been baking. I had paid and was leaving when i saw them. The owner told a brief story about their origins...fathers modernist Hampton house in the 50's...water damage. I do not normally look at artwork.
It isn't the value or how cheap i paid. (actually not much value with the water damage) and broken glass...but who cares. They are just stunning in my home. I am just stunned that they would be in a landfill if i had not stopped.
