No, I’m sorry. We haven’t any information about what happened to Rabbi Solomon’s art works.

Re: Solomon’s art work. There was an estate auction held around 1989 in Dover, NH, at the Solomon home. His papers and art work were sold off. The auctioneer was George Young of Young’s Fine Aty, Portsmouth, NH. We purchased much of the paper and many drawings.

I was a student at Hawthorne College and Dr. Solomon did a portrait of me in 1971. It is of a girl dressed in an orange turtleneck. I was wondering did anyone buy it.
