To już trzecia aukcja prac Henryka Glicenteina prowadzona w USA w przeciągu ok. roku przez Concept Gallery https://polishartcorner.com/2024/12/07/henryk-glicenstein-1870-1942-8/. w tej chwili obok czterech rzeźb (dwie spośród nich pokazuję) znajdują się również kilka rysunków tego artysty. Henryk Glicenstein był bardziej znany za swojego życia jak i po śmierci na zachodzie Europy oraz w USA niż w Polsce. Warto zapoznać się z katalogiem prac wszystkich tego artysty wydanej w USA kilka lat temu. Okazuje się, iż choćby polskie muzea (MNK) tego katalogu nie posiadają w swoich bibliotekach.
