The Hamptons

Leo Cullum was a giant among New Yorker cartoonists, publishing 819 cartoons in the magazine from 1977 to the time of his untimely death in 2010.  In his obituary, the New York Times observed his penchant for "blustering businessmen" and we're lucky to have this fine sample, published on June 10, 1996.   

Sharpie pen and black ink wash on 11" x 14" Bristol Board.  The entire piece is protected by a brown paper overlay with a tear sheet from the magazine.  New Yorker copyright sticker and artist's stamp on the reverse side along with a few production notes.  Excellent condition. 

Leo Cullum's original New Yorker work is extremely rare.  This piece derives from the private collection of his family.
