Aspen Light

It looks like a 1979 painting named Aspen Light came up for auction in Palm Springs recently.  Not sure if that price is to be believed or not, but the painting looks nice.  This is one that I don't think I've seen in slides before.

Waupaunsie Woods at Clars Auction House

There's a large two panel piece Waupaunsie Woods up for sale at Clars in Oakland, CA right now. It was painted in 1969 and is six feet square when the two panels combine.

 

Not Fast Enough!

We saw this painting go up for auction at Clars from the estate of the painter Robert Bechtle.  There were some other pretty cool pieces from the same estate lot.  I meant to post it earlier, but lost track of time and it looks like it sold for a pretty bargain price.  It was from 1965.  Trying to pull from the cached postings, now, it looks like it was titled Untitled (Trees).

Always looking for more!  What else is still out there?  I visited Empire College in Santa Rosa years ago because I knew they had two great paintings.  I found one of them more recently in this clip on YouTube at the 2 minute mark.  If you've got more Ruth Dicker paintings or info, let us know.

Coming Soon: A Six Panel Screen

A fan contacted us with this beautiful six panel piece living in the southwest.  It has been enjoyed for many years, but down-sizing means that it will be looking for a new home soon.  Please contact us for more information.  Panels of this width were not very common, but it is still a striking piece.  It is titled Screen, which may mean it was designed as a room divider.

I found one picture of the painting, at least five panels of it, hanging in the artist's home from a scanned slide.

Seen on justanswer.com

I found a thread where someone is asking for the value of a Ruth Dicker painting here.  A rather unassuming photo is included, but if you zoom in and crop, it's a great piece.  It looks familiar enough and in fact it appears in multiple show flyers for the Marin Civic Center and the Arlene Lind Gallery.  One references the title as Rapheal's Dream from 1981.  I'm not sure if that is a typo.

 If you are the owner of this painting, please contact us and tell us more information.

Sierra from 1963

The best part about having this website is when people send in pictures and stories about their Ruth Dicker paintings.  This painting was acquired 60 years ago by a family friend of the artist.  This one is titled "Sierra" and it three feet square.  I've seen similar pieces before, but maybe not this exact one.  Enjoy!

Briefly on Ebay

I just saw a 1963 painting on eBay, but when I went to look for it again, it was gone.  I do happen to know which painting it was, however, because it was the painting that appeared on this show flyer.  They even had a copy of the flyer taped to the back of the painting.  Maybe it will be posted again soon and if not, I wonder who bought it!
