New Painting “Edgehill” to be Auctioned

Last month, KHS exhibiting artist Daniel Hauben created a unique, collaborative painting with his friend, the Austrian painter Alexander Arthur Dietz. The two artists worked on location in front of the historic Edgehill Church. Passersby stopped to watch the “performance” as the artists worked in tandem to capture the edifice of the 100+ year old landmarked building in a blend of their two distinct artistic styles. “It’s rare for artists to work together like this,” said Hauben, “but we’ve cultivated a very special collaborative relationship over many years. Axxl’s work is more expressionistic and he doesn’t hesitate to venture into abstraction, whereas my own work tends to be more contained. In working together, we push each other in new directions.”

This uniquely expressive work, which measures 50 x 49 inches, is a joyful rendering of Edgehill and a perfect example of artistic collaboration. It will be auctioned during the fundraiser, and 50% of the proceeds will benefit the Kingsbridge Historical Society.
