Head Study of an American Pointer by Maud Earl, 1932
Doyle New York’s 11th Annual Dogs in Art, Sporting Art and Wildlife Art auction on Tuesday will be held March 24, 2009. The event, which used to take place during the week of the Westminster Dog Show in early February, has been pushed back to give dog lovers a chance to take in the art and attend their annual brunch benefiting Angels On A Leash Therapy Dog Program at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital without having to miss any of the dog show. From a look at the party pics of so many dogs and their people, it looks like waiting for spring was the right move.
All the art is on view at Doyle today and the auction is tomorrow at 1pm. Click here for more details. These are some of my favorites:
Mock-up for Scottie Show Poster by Marguerite Krimse, 1915
Waiting for Dinner by Thomas Earl, 1836-1885
The Dog Trainer by F. Sigmund Lachenwitz, 1820-1868
English Pointer by George Percy R.E. Jacomb-Hood, 1882
Your Future Told by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, 1885
This last painting of the gypsy Chihuahua is especially interesting because the artist, C. M. Coolidge, is the man who would go on to paint the famous dogs playing poker series in the early 1900's. You can see another one of his earlier dog art works here. It's always fascinating to note the evolution of an artist, especially a dog artist who created perhaps the most iconic dog paintings in America that now sell for over half a million dollars.
