Re: Sam Maloof: 1916-2009

Several years ago I was given a Maloof walnut settee by a friend who aquired it from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1978. A letter from the museum's curator indicated Sam liked to know how his pieces fared over the years. In June 1996 I caalled Sam at his home in Alta Loma. His wife said he was in his shop but insisted he would want to speak to me. He was pleased to get an update on his settee and asked me to send him a photograph. He sent me a brochure of a show featuring his work at a museum in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympics. He and his wife were very gracious.
