With James Economos (1938-2019), New York, early 1960s [1];
Purchased from Economos by Donald D. Jones (d. 2000), Kansas City, MO, early 1960s-2000 [1];
His bequest to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, 2001.
NOTES:
[1] James Economos began working for New York dealer Julius Carlebach in 1947 (at the age of nine). In 1964, he was hired by Morton D. May as the curator of May Company Department Stores’ Fine Arts Department based in St. Louis, Missouri, where he remained until 1968. It is unclear whether Donald D. Jones acquired this object while Economos was working for Carlebach, May, or perhaps independently.
