Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: Alec Monopoly aka Alec Landon (b. 1986)
Marking(s); notes: signed
Country of origin; materials: American; paper collage, spray paint, gold leaf and resin on canvas
Dimensions (H, W, D): 40"h, 30"w
Additional Information: "Unlike other street artists, Monopoly avoids vandalism - often painting on abandoned buildings and warehouses rather than government properties or businesses. His adoption of the board game character Mr. Monopoly as his mascot was inspired by the stockbroker Bernie Madoff and is intended as a criticism of the billion-dollar bailouts and deregulation associated with major banks."

Estate of Brian Hauserman and Kent Karosen
This lot is from the collection of Messrs. Brian Hauserman and Kent Karosen of Miami, Florida/New York, New York. Their collection of art and jewelry is as diverse in focus as their personal histories, with pieces reflecting both their visual aesthetic and the important story beats of their lives.
Brian Hauserman graduated from Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts in Idyllwild, CA and earned his BFA in Musical Theatre at the University of Cincinnati College - Conservatory of Music. Brian worked as the Production Company Manager for Norwegian Cruise Lines and as an Entertainer for Celebrity Cruises and performed in various theater productions including the national tour of "West Side Story." In 2008, he married Kent Karosen in Provincetown, Massachusetts and again in a religious ceremony in New York City. Brian became a residential broker at Prudential Douglas Elliman in Manhattan and together, they managed the business consulting firm, Karosen Strategic Partners, LLC. They relocated to Miami Beach, Florida in 2015, where they served on the board of directors for the Temple Emanu-El Synagogue.
Kent Karosen was a businessman, author and philanthropist who served on the board of several charitable organizations. He was the President and CEO of the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation, a nonprofit health organization as well as Managing Director and Partner at the Wall Street Firm Cantor Fitzgerald. The company's offices in the World Trade Center were destroyed by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. On October 1, 2001, Karosen organized a memorial service in Central Park for over 4,000 family members and friends of those killed. Until his death, he continued to put together an annual celebration of life event for the families of Cantor Fitzgerald's victims.
Palm Beach Modern Auctions would like to thank Mr. Hauserman's family for their kind assistance in cataloging the collection. Interested bidders are welcome to request links to the New York Times and Wikipedia articles sourced for this text along with photos provided by the family highlighting the couple's extraordinary lives.
