| Notes (this edition)?: |
| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
Tami is dead. She died in Toyko of cancer about two years ago. I was her
friend. She was married to a Japanese professor. She had two sons, Roger
Bhalla and Brian Bhalla during her marriage to Hans Bhalla, deceased, while
she was in Talladega, Alabama. Her entire collection is in the hands of her
sons. Her son Roger lived with me for 13 years.
Re: Tami's sons. They just picked up the entire collection about a month
ago. It was stored, when they were still very young in the home of one of
Tami's good friends here in Atlanta. There may be more in Talladega,
Alabama, but we don't know. Their father, an artist in his own right, had
some stored there. It's a sad story of a cross-cultural marriage.
I'll give them a call and let them know. They're adults now and make their
own decisions.
Hello again. I just spoke to Brian Bhalla, Tamami's son, and he said to send
you his email address as well as that of his brother. Brian is in the
process of photographing the collection he has at his house. I will ask
Roger to do the same. Brian also tells me they have other artist's work that
she kept for them. They do not know who the artists are since they are
signed in Japanese. We will be talking with a Japanese block print expert
from Agnes Scott College here in Atlanta, and hopefully we can determine the
full extent of their holdings. Any help you can give them will be
appreciated.
By the way, Brian tells me that his mom died in May of 1999. I didn't think
it was that long ago, but he assures me that is the correct date. |
