I believe only his self portraits and others of his own paintings were retained by members of the family. In 1956 in the divorce settlement with his first wife, Gladys Lloyd, the collection was sold to Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos for $3,125,000. Robinson rebuilt his collection and at his death not quite twenty years later, it was purchased by Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum Company for $5 million!! In 1990 I did see "L'Arbre Mort" ("The Dead Tree") on a wall in the Robinson mansion when I visited with his second wife and widow, Jane. There's a story about why it was not sold with the others. 26 September 2007 - st. louis, missouri kimpunkrock | @ I was wondering if the family still owns any of Eddie's beloved paintings. As a huge fan of your grandfather and an artist, I am greatly interested in his art collection. I have recently ordered a book on the subject but have not received it as of yet. I recently won on eBay an original magazine ad from 1949 with Eddie and his wife for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. In the ad he is sitting in front of one of his Van Gogh's. I really love your grandfather and his body of work. Long live Edward G. Robinson! take care and thank you, kim 25 September 2007 - seattle wa usa Lionel Peters | @ Dear Francesca My grandfather's name was Goldberg formerly Goldenberg. He told my aunt that he came from Romania. His Brothers were called Avram (lived in US), Yossel, Aaron, Gittel, (all lived in UK)and Osna, who went and lived in Russia. I always wondered whether there was a family relationship with your grandfather. Could you put me in contact with the Goldenberg Family? I have set up a website with details of our family Best wishes Lionel Peters 20 September 2007 - London NW9 England bob | @ Elaine, taking the liberty of responding to your question, most sources list Edward G.
