Waldman's paintings and prints are included in many
prestigious collections around the world. His oils, acrylics
and watercolors may be seen in the capital buildings of more
than a dozen nations, and in numerous major corporations.
His works have garnered many awards and honours. Notable
among these is a gold medal from the United Nations in a
closed international competition in which Waldman was chosen
to represent the United States. The world body selected his
entry as the official poster for the International Year of
Peace. Today it hangs in the halls of the U. N. General
Assembly.
Waldman was commissioned by the American Brands Corporation
to paint the portraits of twenty famous Americans for their
centennial exhibition entitled "The American Achievers".
This collection travelled to museums, galleries and exhibit
halls around the country, and was eventually published in a
book of the same name. Waldman has designed postage stamps
for thirteen nations and illustrated more than fifty
books.
In the Summer of 2006, Waldman created the Fred Dolan
Art Academy in the Bronx, along with his long-time friend,
Marc Broxmeyer. The Academy's purpose is to provide
motivated Bronx teenagers with the skills necessary for
developing portfolios for entry into art college. If
