 Rediscovered Works of Josephu
                         

My grandfather, Josef Josephu, was a well known Vienna-born sculptor, as was his brother, Florian Josephu-Drouot.  Josef emmigrated to the US in September 1937, along with my grandmother, Olga, and my mother, Micaela. My entire life was exposed to his art, with any statues in our home - which are mostly now in my Manhattan apartment. He left behind many photos off his work, and a bread-crumb trail of their identities and whereabouts, and even less information about our family. My mother had some information -- and now, as I search through my history I find -- misinformation.

I have been spending many years researching my family and I connnected to family thought gone for over 65 years. I've made two trips to Vienna, most recently in June 2011, and with much joy reunited with my European family. my experiences and research are now being compiled into a book I've titles "The Brothers Josephu." I'm not sure how long it will take to finalize the project - it seems when I think my owrk is done I find more information.

Should you have a piece of artwork by Josef of Florian I welcome inquiries - and photos.
