Big Sur on Ebay

There's a painting on Ebay right now called Big Sur from 1997.  Interestingly enough, I don't think I have ever seen or or have any records of it previously.  That doesn't happen very often!

Yellow Field

A Ruth Dicker painting recently showed up on Ebay. The painting is called Yellow Field and is from 1965. It appears to still have its original tags on the back and it was sold at the Christmas Festival Sales Exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1966. Happy Bidding.

Edge of October

It looks like a 1964 Ruth Dicker painting was on ebay recently. I can't tell exactly when it was for sale, but the auction appears to have ended. It is titled Edge of October.

It appears extremely similar to this painting from 1964.

Three paintings and a wood sculpture

I was contacted by another fan who is looking for a new home for some Ruth Dicker paintings. They look like nice mid 60's pieces, three paintings and a wood sculpture.

He is interested in selling them on ebay or craigslist, so they will probably end up there soon. I'll add an update with the links if they do become available.

Found on Craigslist in Santa Monica

I did a search the other day and found this on craigslist.  It is a Ruth Dicker painting called Guaymas from 1964:

I'll update this post if I get any more information.

Brown Thicket I & II

I was very excited when a lady contacted me saying that her husband had commissioned paintings from Ruth in 1968 that hung in the Crown Zellerbach Building in San Francisco.  The panels are called Brown Thicket I & II and I think are the same ones listed in my spreadsheet.  They look like they are seven feet tall and six feet wide which matches what I have in the spreadsheet, taking into account that Ruth often transposed dimensions as Y by X instead of X by Y.  These painting are available for sale and are currently located in Burlingame, CA.  Please contact Gwendolyn Mitchell at gvmitchell@aol.com if interested and copy me at ruthdickerpaintings@gmail.com. 

Here are some pictures of the painting:

Another Poster

I found this poster on craigslist today. It is one of the rarer Nut Tree posters from a show in 1979, I'm not sure we have any left so I might have to get it for myself. In case the ad disappears, here is what it looks like:

Posters

Ruth had a number of shows at the Nut Tree in Vacaville, CA and at least three of them had posters produced for the show. Somewhere I have a large collection of these posters, but they also show up frequently on ebay. One ebay seller in particular, Broadway Comics and Cards, usually seems to have at least two of the poster styles for sale.

Here are pictures of the ones currently for sale:

$7.99 sounds like a bargain to me. I will try to find a picture of the third poster as well.

Coffee Tree paintings

I recently discovered a few paintings for sale at askart.com.

The paintings from 1987 actually hung in the dining room at the Coffee Tree Restaurant in Vacaville, CA.  The ones from 2000 were supposed to hang in a new Coffee Tree, but I am not sure they ever did.  One of Ruth's paintings also appeared on the cover of the Coffee Tree's menu.  I will try to add a picture of that menu.  Here is a picture of some of these paintings inside the Coffee Tree dated 8/22/88:
