Painted by Emily Van Horn, this work was specifically chosen by set designers for its likeness to mid-century abstract expressionist painters of the period. Art for the Mad Men drama is pivotal to evoking the look and feel of the era, and represents both historical collections including Rothko, DeKooning, and Pollock, and contemporary painters working today. Van Horn\u2019s work has also been featured on other television dramas including \u2018House\u2019 and \u2018Brothers &#038; Sisters\u2019, among others, as well as films such as \u2019Knight of Cups\u2019 and \u2019A Single Man\u2019. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hulettscurrent.com\/pictures\/LGA_MadMen2.png\"><br \/>\n<em>LGA\u2019s Director of Membership Development, Nancy Cobb-Zoll, displays the painting generously donated by artist Emily Van Horn.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so excited to have this exceptional piece of art for auction at our event,\u201d said Cobb-Zoll.  \u201cEvery year we work hard to find new, unique items for our event, and this is certainly a great one.
