Tiburon s Gertrud Parker founded Museum of Craft & Folk Art
Gertrud Valerie Grossman Parker, an artist and art collector who founded the Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco, died Jan. 10 of natural causes at her Tiburon home. She was 96.
Born Dec. 27, 1924, in Vienna, Austria, Mrs. Parker was the only child of Otto Grossman and Helen Pick Grossman.
Her maternal grandfather, Karl Pick, was a member of Austria’s elected parliament and the founder of a labor union for office workers. He was instrumental in establishing modern labor laws as well as workers’ housing and hospitals, according to an essay about Mrs. Parker by art scholar Amy Winter. A building and street in Vienna is named for him, said Mrs. Parker’s son Jonathan.
