A CALL FOR HEIRLOOMS AND TREASURES OF THE PAST

Expanding its traditional yearly art show and auction in Lexington in September for the benefit of its College Scholarship Fund, Harness Tracks of America this year will include rare and unusual art work beyond the original paintings, sculptures and woodcarvings it offers annually. 

Anyone wishing to sell original Currier & Ives framed prints, George Ford Morris or Robert Dickey drawings, Richard Stone Reeves paintings or other works by major artists, should send 4 x 6 color pictures of the works to HTA for its consideration by July 15.  As with original artwork HTA reserves the right of selection for its auction. 

“We have some exceptional treasures entered already,” HTA executive vice president Stan Bergstein said in announcing the new addition, “and this year’s auction will offer a selection of outstanding pieces not ordinarily available in the sport.”
