A.F.A. He had a B.A. in psychology from New York University
and a B.F.A. in illustration from the School of Visual Arts.
He exhibited work in many New York art galleries and

Although he suffered with Cooley's Anemia, a terminal blood

continued to produce works of art until 1984.
The Cooley's Anemia Foundation will be honoring Ralph

Tavern On the Green, and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
His work will be sold to raise money for the foundation's

unusual conditions.
A genuine sense of joy and natural repose permeate his
work. Ralph had a passion to embrace the overlooked as
precious, and the unheralded as noteworthy; and to elevate
his artistry from the depths of his understanding. His work
is the unbroken thread connecting yesterday, today, and
tomorrow.
