Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1937, Kane often muses that
he actually was born on a clove of garlic and herbs de Provence along the Riviera. His subject
matter would back up that statement since his oils are of the Mediterranean area.
He paints with watercolor on location and then creates his oils back in his New York studio.
A new book about Kane will be released by Rizzoli publishers
in October 2002, and will be available at the gallery. The book is dedicated to one of his
collectors, Audrey Hepburn, and the sales benefit her worldwide children’s fund.
Kane’s popularity has been evident by the annual
shows he has had at our gallery since 1989. He is also represented in about 20 museum permanent
collections including the Butler Inst., Hirshhorn, PA Academy of Fine Arts, Cincinnati, Boca Raton,
and others.
Each year his annual show carries a different overall theme
or locale. These range from the Rivieras to Venice, Rome, Spain, Paris, Morocco, Greece and
Positano.
