Tattersalls to host equine art auction in Lexington

One of the nation’s largest equine-art auctions, featuring 270 oils, watercolors, bronzes and woodcarvings by some of the world’s best-known painters of horses, will be held for the 29th year on Friday and Saturday in the Tattersalls sales pavilion on Broadway in Lexington.

The auction will begin at 8:30 a.m. each day and end by noon to accommodate Red Mile racing in the afternoon and yearling sales at Fasig-Tipton.

Three early works by George Ford Morris, the premier horse artist of his day, are included, two from 1902 and 1904, and a large oil painted in 1929. Also offered will be 28 oils and watercolors by Zenon Aniszewski, a noted Polish equine artist, and 18 by Svetlana Gadjieva, a Russian architect and equine artist.
