In 1974, shortly after graduation, Rizzi met an elderly gentleman at the Greenwich Village Art Fair. The man expressed great admiration for his work. The man, unknown to him at the time, turned out to be internationally known sculptor Chaim Gross, father-in-law of Red Grooms, an acknowledged master of the art-world.Having been honored with solo shows in the United States, Europe and Asia, his work has received much recognition throughout the globe, for which he is extremely grateful.

Vintage watches Back to Top About our Vintage Watches: Any watch with a starting price of $500 or less has not been checked for timing accuracy, unless otherwise noted. Even though it runs it may keep time well or it may need servicing, you need to take this into consideration when bidding. .We sell New, pre-owned, collectible and antique merchandise and art. All items not specified as being "new" may have indications of use or wear consistent with age, be sure to look at all the images in their enlarged form and all items are sold AS IS. Any watch 20 years old or older may not meet the original factory specifications for water resistancy, and they should not be immersed or water damage may occur. . Please look at all images in their enlarged format, as photographs tell as much or more about an item as the verbiage. Watch quality terms To further explain our grading we offer the following definitions for our watch conditions we hope this clarifies the terms for the public and watch community. Ultra Mint or New Old Stock (NOS) or New: Never sold to the public, may be virtually flawless but may show minor signs of shop wear from being placed in and out of showcase. If original box is present box may show dings or minor tears. Mint or Like New: Excellent condition, like new may have been carried a few times and put away in safe deposit box or drawer. Box if present may show marring. Minty or As New: Very Good to excellent condition, one the three of dial movement or case must being close to new condition. One (1) of the following (dial movement or case) may have minor imperfections such as faint hairlines, minor brass on stem area, minor screwdriver marks to movement or case back. But watch must run and look good. Box may or may not be present and may be in any condition. Good (Not Minty): Runs, a good carrying watch may have some minor brassing of case, but dial and movement are presentable. A watch you would be proud to carry. Fair (Far from Minty): May or may not run, very salvageable, will clean up nice with a standard cleaning and minor part replacement. Poor (the anti Minty) Rough, good parts watch, may need heavy restoration to run correctly. To Fix, 2 Fix, for Parts, 4 Parts _ This watch may or may not have all its parts and may or may not run. Expect it to only have only what is photographed and though it may tick when wound or rocked do not expect it to run. We have not defined a term for watches that are total junk and only used for parts, this term is kind of an enigma.
