A Catskills Mystery SOLVED!
Two years ago, the museum rescued a 1950s expressionist sculpture facing demolition from the grounds of the former Schenk's Paramount Hotel in South Fallsburg. The towering, concrete tour de force had stood in front of Schenk’s card room for more than a half century. But when we tried to learn more about the sculpture — and who had created it — we hit a dead end.
Last month, Laura Miller, a psychiatrist from Chicago, reached out to us and solved the mystery: it was her father, Hal Schenk, who created the sculpture.
