ALAN FINK Obituary

FINK, Alan Founder-Alpha Gallery, Boston It is with great sadness that the family of Alan Fink announces his death on March 21, 2017. Alan (also known by many as "Bop") was born on July 17, 1925 in Chicago, IL to Joseph and Lilian (Rosenbloom) Fink. He was the brother of the late Corinne (Fink) Greenspan. He is predeceased by his wife, the artist Barbara Swan, who died in 2003. Alan is survived by his children Aaron and his wife Anne Mastrangelo of Brookline; and Joanna and her husband Richard Gonci of Cambridge. He is also survived by his grandchildren Nathaniel Fink, Abigail Fink and Noah Gonci. Alan founded the Alpha Gallery in Boston in 1967. He leaves behind a 50-year legacy of championing emerging artistic talent as well as presenting such masters as Fairfield Porter and Milton Avery to Boston for the first time. Burial will be private. A celebration of his life will take place on a date to be announced.
