Levene Fine Art, Ltd. for observations for _The New York Times [T](https://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/01/arts/design/01rosenthal.html)_[ony Rosenthal](https://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/01/arts/design/01rosenthal.html) [obituary](https://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/01/arts/design/01rosenthal.html) by William Grimes. Joseph K. Levene [said](https://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/01/arts/design/01rosenthal.html "Tony Rosenthal, Sculptor of Public Art, Dies at 94"): _"Tony Rosenthal reminds me of a character actor. You know the face but not the name. With him, you know the art. He never had a retrospective, but that's all right, he has one every day on the streets of New York.''_ **Tony Rosenthal Museum & Public Art Collections** • [Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York](https://buffaloakg.org/person/tony-rosenthal) • [The Chrysler Museum](https://chrysler.emuseum.com/objects/12384/big-six?ctx=ccecfe4d-7cbd-408d-9dca-bb062a161ea7&idx=0), Norfolk, Virginia • [Department of Parks and Recreation](https://www.nycgovparks.org/art-and-antiquities/permanent-art-and-monuments/info?monId=9), New York • [Brooklyn College,](https://www.brooklyn.edu/bc-news/the-new-art-on-campus/) New York • [Guild Hall Museum](https://pc.guildhall.org/artpress_artist/tony-rosenthal/), East Hampton, New York • [Israel Museum](https://www.imj.org.il/en/artistec/bernard-rosenthal), Jerusalem • [The Museum of Modern Art](https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/4159/installation_images/46990), New York • The National Museum of American Art, Washington, DC • [The Smithsonian Institution](https://americanart.si.edu/artist/bernard-rosenthal-4138)[](https://americanart.si.edu/artist/bernard-rosenthal-4138), Washington, DC • The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. • The Solomon R.

For reference, the first posthumous edition is Tony Rosenthal Maquette for Alamo, USA, 1967/2024 cast in bronze, based on a unique cube Rosenthal created in 1967.\\ It is generally recognized that posthumous editions, issued after an artist's death, are **reproductions, NOT** original works of art—especially when the artist did not intend to create the edition. Posthumous editions produced without the Artist’s consent cannot be classified as "original editions," as a deceased artist cannot create, approve or sign a work of art. In this case, the **posthumous sculpture authorized by the Rosenthal Estate is dated 2024**, despite **Tony Rosenthal passing away in 2009**. It is unfortunate that the Estate has chosen to issue this edition, as Tony Rosenthal never intended for his _Cube_ to be reproduced in this manner. Standing 5 inches, this posthumous edition is $25,000. By comparison Tony Rosenthal's Maquette For Marty's Cube, 1983, offered by Joseph K. Levene Fine Art, Ltd., is a signed unique lifetime sculpture created by Rosenthal is a superior value and obviously more collectible.   **All Fine Art offered and sold by [Joseph K.
