Marton is certainly not an artist who "mass produces" which attracted my grandmother to his work, she calls him one of the best sculptors of the last 50 years, his works are masterpieces, his nudes are breathtaking, and the architectural work he has done is absolutely amazing . This from the lips of my grandmother and best friend, who has taught me a love of the arts, and I believe she is right. When we discussed putting up a piece, I said, it could not hurt, certainly just because there is not one Marton Varo' listed in the entire world does not mean that people are not looking so here is your opportunity. If this goes well, she owns 2 nudes, by popular demand and the urging of several collectors, here are the nudes.
