PHILIP AND KELVIN LAVERNE
Evan Lobel
Philip (born in 1907) and Kelvin (born in 1937) were father and son artists who worked together to create exceptional functional and fine art. Each accomplished and talented in his own right, Philip and Kelvin's collaboration created a dynamic synergy that resulted in unique and spectacular artworks. Philip attended the Arts Student League in New York. Kelvin went City College in New York City and switched to Parsons for his last 2 years of college education. Like his father, he also attended the Arts Student League. There they both mentored under well known sculptors. After finishing school in the late 1950’s, Kelvin joined his father and they began making art pieces in patinated and engraved bronze and pewter, opening a showroom on East 57th Street in NYC to great acclaim.
