Linsey-Morris Prize John F. Kennedy Plaque and Medallion
This is a cased pair of unique bronze medals by Agop Agopoff, noted New York sculptor. The portrait plaque received the coveted Linsey Morris memorial prize at the annual exhibition of the national Sculptors society in 1964. These very rare pieces were sold in a public auction sale by Bowers and Merena Inc. These unique pieces were part of the meticulous David W. Dreyfuss Collection sold on April 12, 1986. These very rare pieces were illustrated as the frontispiece to Ed Rochette's Medallic Portraits of JFK and are catalogued therein as K - 63A-16. The first is a 91/2 inch uniface casting in bronze, 1/4 thick, bearing the Presidents bust; while the second is a 3-inch uniface medal signed and copyright by the artist 1964. These two pieces would make very handsome display items.
