We love him and are proud to announce that he belongs to the 21 outstanding individuals, who were recently awarded the prestigious Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Award. The DDCF, which was named after prominent philanthropist and supporter of the arts Doris Duke, grants each artist $225.000, who may use it for any purpose.
