Nut Tree and Coffee Tree Menus

I have a couple of Nut Tree and Coffee Tree menus featuring Ruth Dicker's work. I think that some of them were used during specific shows, but I also seem to remember the Coffee Tree always having her menus. Here they are:

Left to right are a Nut Tree menu dated January, 1986, a Nut Tree menu dated Winter 1987, and a Coffee Tree menu dated August 1990. Note that the cover of the first menu is a close-up of a painting titled Snow Birch and was also available as a poster. The insides of the two Nut Tree menus have a series of black and white paintings that Ruth did. I have some photos of other paintings from that series of black and white paintings here, here, and here.

I will try to make some time to scan some of the inside pages as well, they are very nice. If there are other Ruth Dicker menus out there, let me know.

More Found Paintings

I got another email recently with some great Ruth Dicker painting pictures.  I added some pictures to the private collections section of my photos site.  Here they are:

Snow Woods, 1962:

Off Rollo Road, 1970:

Fragment of August Hill, 1969:

An interesting part of the email was that I actually had a photo of "Snow World" from a scanned slide that I have here.  Written on the slide was "Der Schnee Wald" instead of "Snow World", but I am pretty sure those are the same.

Scanning Postcards and Statements

I added two more sections to the Ruth Dicker photos over at Picasa.

Statements and Bios

Postcards

The postcards are pretty amazing, many of her best paintings.  If anyone is interesting in buying postcards please email me.  I think I will sell packets of 20 for $20.  Some are more rare than others, but I will include a good selection from those available.

Orange Paper Moon

In mid december I was still looking around for a gift to get my brother. I had this idea of finding him an early abstract Ruth Dicker painting, but didn't know how I was going to make that happen. A woman in Sacramento contacted me with a great painting and she shipped it. Everything worked out great. Here it is, Orange Paper Moon from 1962:
