Grilling Chef: Arthur Getz New Yorker Cover Art

Original artwork by Arthur Getz for the cover of The New Yorker was offered on eBay in May. It was published in 1959 and never previously offered for sale, which could mean either that it is being sold now by the Getz family or that at one time Mr. Getz presented someone with the original artwork as a gift.
