Kenneth (Kenny) Gould

Ken Gould was a plenipotentiary in the psychedelic art scene in Boston.  A Massachusetts native, he eventually burned out and took on the role of a grown-up, studying engineering and architecture to become a serious contractor of skyscrapers in Manhattan!  He got high every way he could.  His toothy Cheshire cat smile is both a personal attribute and a signature of his charming self-portrait watercolors, the smile alone wearing a broad brimmed hat. These archetypical works belong to the unique and important era of the 1960s. They are rare, and have never been on the market before, collected in a smoke-filled room during a shipment into Cambridge of "Tijuana Red."
