Exhibition Note
We are pleased for you to view our electronic exhibition catalog
British Art: Paintings of Livestock, the Turf and the Field. Our inaugural effort in this medium was Blood Will Tell: Bird Dog Paintings by J.M. Tracy, published in the fall of 2017 (View Catalog ). We have decided to try the format again now and invite your comments about this presentation.
I am proud to announce that my daughter, Hannah Reuter Rothrock, has joined Red Fox Fine Art as a principal in the firm. With Hannah on board as a resource we have been able to expand our scope in many ways, including participation in the prestigious Winter Show in New York, a highlight of my career and an important beginning for hers. Without Hannah’s urging, this Exhibition Catalog British Art: Paintings of Livestock, the Turf and the Field may not have been possible.
Please contact either of us with questions or comments. Thank you and enjoy,
Turner Reuter
