The 2017 Sporting Art Auction, a collaboration between Keeneland Association and Cross Gate Gallery of Lexington, will be held Sunday, Nov. 19, in the Keeneland Sales Pavilion. The format of this year's auction has changed from an evening to an early afternoon event beginning at 2 p.m. ET.
This year marks the fifth Sporting Art Auction, which will feature 175 high-quality lots representing a mix of fine sporting art, American paintings, and sculpture from renowned masters as well as talented new artists. Among the notable pieces cataloged this year are: Heading Home, a signed 30″ x 40″ oil on canvas by Andre Pater; A Morning's Work, Newmarket Heath, a signed 15¼ x 28¼ oil on canvas by Sir Alfred Munnings; and Jocks Room Colors, a stunning 40″ x 30″ oil on canvas by LeRoy Neiman.
The Sporting Art Auction catalog will be available at http://www.thesportingartauction.com/ and in print beginning in September. As in previous years, artwork will be on exhibit in the Keeneland Sales Pavilion during the September Yearling Sale, which opens Sept. 11, through the November auction date.
