The provenance is listed as "Private South Carolina collection, originally purchased from the Tree Gallery in Chicago, Illinois."
I had hoped to interview Jim Romano, owner of the Tree Gallery, to learn how he acquired the painting. The Tree Gallery was located at 613 Tree Studios of the historically-classified Tree Studios Building and Annexes in Chicago's River North district. This property was renovated in the early 2000s and all occupants were forced to vacate the premises.
Upon researching Romano, I learned that he died in 2007.
