The Museum of Hounds & Hunting NA is pleased to announce the Beresford Gallery of Unionville, Pa., will present the 2008 Sporting Art Show and Sale in the historic Coach House at Morven Park over Memorial Day weekend. Having been on hiatus for several years, the return of the MHHNA show has been eagerly anticipated. The event is widely regarded for presenting a premier collection of work from highly acclaimed contemporary sporting artists. This year’s roster includes Beverly Wende, Juli Kirk, Nancy Pellatt, Larry Wheeler, Richard Hubbard, Peggy Kauffman, Linda Luster, Beth Carlson, sculptor J. Clayton Bright, wrought iron artist Eric Zanotti, and others – all with exciting new works shown for the first time. The 2008 exhibition poster features American Hounds by Julie Kirk (see below and attached). It is available for $15.00 and can be purchased at the event or through www.mhhna.org or by calling 703-777-2414. Proceeds from the posters, and a portion of the art sale proceeds, go to benefit the Museum’s efforts to preserve the art and artifacts of mounted hunting in North America . “We are thrilled to be back at beautiful, historic Morven Park,” says Elizabeth Beer of the Beresford Gallery. “It’s the perfect setting to showcase our legacy of fine sporting art to the public. We have several outstanding pieces to present and we’re proud to support the Museum of Hounds and Hunting through our success.” Marion Maggiolo, chairman of the MHHNA, echoes Ms. Beer’s sentiments: “The Museum’s collection includes pieces from the early 18th century, as well as works by some of the most notable sporting artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. To see this rich tradition continued by the talented contributors to this display of contemporary art is truly inspiring.” |
