Portrait of a thoroughbred colt by Anna Hyatt Huntington
Three unique pieces from the KYLM collection are featured in the exhibit, The Horse in Decorative and Fine Art, at the
Headley-Whitney Museum in Lexington. Consisting of a sculpture of a thoroughbred colt by noted artist Anna Hyatt Huntington, the Chester Dare quilt, and a wood carving by Ed and Pansy Cress, the selections from the Kentucky Museum join paintings, sculpture, folk art, textiles, object d’art, wood carvings, jewelry, historical ephemera and modern depictions of the horse borrowed from public and private collections in Kentucky and New York as well as several Smithsonian institutions. The exhibit runs through December 23, 2010.
