Burton Dunbar said it best in his foreword to the book “The Oak Street Mansion” when he says of Roland Sabates: “He tells us something about himself as well – his passion for collecting, his thrill at the discovery of an artwork new to the market, and his intuitive ability to acquire the best examples of an artist’s work. It’s hard not to see these abilities of critical observation as being directly related to the man’s clinical skills as a renowned ophthalmologist.” Roland and his wife Marcia have collected works by Kansas City artists over many years. The quality, condition and variety of works is all top notch. Some of the artists represented include Wilimovsky, Benton, Millet, Lockwood, Kraft, Hamil, Cofran and dozens more. Many of the artists had connections to the Kansas City Art Institute as either students, instructors or both. Roland has authored two books on art titled “The Life and Art of Charles A. Wilimovsky: Forgotten Master” and “The Oak Street Mansion – The History, Art and Sculpture of Kansas City’s Small Art Hotel” and we would consider him ahead of his time in the renovation of an historic property with an Art Hotel as the reason why. Many of the works being sold have been published in one of these books and a copy of that book will be included with the art.
