ELLEN BROOKS ON LARRY SULTAN

I spent many nights sleeping in Larry’s studio. My last two visits with him were two weeks in September and three in November/December. At the end, I sat in his studio while he signed prints, archived with Dru, finishing what needed to done for the day. He was tired and needed to go next door to his house. As we left he told me, “All I want is to be here, do my work, listen to music, have Kelly and the boys come in and out. Oh El, isn’t this the most beautiful place. I am a lucky guy.” I left five days before he died, on December 13th 2010. I was lucky to have Larry as a best friend for 33 years. Somehow, I thought it would be forever.
