Mati Klarwein (1932 – 2002) is best known for his paintings “Annunciation”, which was chosen for the cover of Santana's album Abraxas, and the paintings used by Miles Davis for the covers of Bitches Brew (which was also reproduced for Absolut Vodka's ad campaign) and Live Evil. His artwork has been widely shown in galleries in New York, Paris, and all over Spain. Mati's most unique installation was the Aleph Sanctuary, a cubic room comprised of 68 paintings including the 'Tree of Life' requiring a guard at its entrance in the Museum of Art in Santa Barbara, California (see photo, below).
The Aleph Sanctuary, along with his work “Grain of Sand”, was featured in the touring exhibition "Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era" that was on display at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, on view May 24, 2007 - September 16, 2007.
