Robert "bobby" Buecker 1935-2024

Sad to learn today that Bobby has passed. I knew him on several fronts, as an art dealer, friend of everyone, and the maker of incredible Harpsichords that were remarkable. I met him when he came to my studio to look at my work and picked out a collage for one of his intimate shows that he was known for, and he was known for many things. He even made an exquisite frame for it. He was also a close friend of my best friend Tom Wirth who died during the awful summer of 1987 and bobby was right there with us taking care of Tom in his small east village apartment. Bobby knew everyone it seems and he gave a big thanksgiving dinner for some friends (probably close to 100 people were there) one year.
