Serigraph Prints by Sako
"Tidal Lights"
"Fsih Flash"
"Coasting"
"Bramble Scramble"
Artist, Herbert Phillip Sussman, also known as “Sako, was a friend of the ACW and an alumni of the Newark School of Art in New Jersey, class of ’51.
Although originally from the city, Sako found his niche in the woods of Roane County, West Virginia where he lived a solitary life close to the land from 1981 until his death in 2012 at the age of 77.
At his passing, the Sussman family donated his artwork and 65 acres to our Regional Land Trust of West Virginia, which:
- provides land for the landless,
- protects it from speculation and
- promotes the ecological use of it for the common good.
Sako serigraphs vary in size and shape. Each print is signed by the artist with a serial number and no others will be produced.
They will be auctioned off and sold at fundraising events with all proceeds going to the Land Trust.
However, you can purchase any of Sako’s 16 different, original, colorful prints here for a set price of $25 each.
