About Edward and Deborah Pollack

    Edward and Deborah Pollack are avid collectors of works by Orville Bulman, and their gallery represents the estate of the artist. The Pollacks are devoted to preserving Bulman's legacy and reawakening interest in his art on a worldwide basis. They have been in the art world  for over thirty-four years, as not only prominent art collectors but also as a gallery specializing in fine 19th century and early 20th century American and European oil paintings. In the early 1970s Edward's gallery was the Pollack Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York City, and Deborah was a private art dealer, D. Courtney Fine Art, based in New York and Pennsylvania. In 1981 they married and merged their businesses to create Edward and Deborah Pollack. Their gallery is located at 205 Worth Avenue, Suite 202, in Palm Beach, Florida. 

   Deborah Pollack is the only recognized scholar of the life and art of Orville Bulman. She is the author of Inspired Whimsy: The Genius of Orville Bulman and of the best-selling monograph on the artist, Orville Bulman: An Enchanted Life and Fantastic Legacy. In January of 2005, Deborah gave a lecture and slide presentation on the art of Orville Bulman at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida. On January 25, 2006 she gave a lecture and slide presentation on "Art in Florida, 1860-1980" at the same venue which included Bulman in its discussion. The lecture was so successful that there was standing room only. She presented another lecture on Orville Bulman at the Grand Rapids Art Museum on September 29, 2006, which was, once again, a huge success, as was her presentation of her book, Orville Bulman: An Enchanted Life and Fantastic Legacy, at the Society of the Four Arts on January 24, 2007. Other Palm Beach artists and the art of Orville Bulman were discussed at the Lost Tree Art Club on February 8, 2007.  For more information see Deborah Pollack's lecture schedule.

    Deborah is currently completing the biography of Laura Woodward, which will be published in association with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. She is an affiliated member of the International Society of Appraisers, a life member of the Actors Fund, an associate of Archives of American Art, a member of the  and a member of the Brain Injury Association of Florida.
