The
genre of Texas Vintage Art has recently been the topic of discussion in
regional and national auction houses, among private collectors, and
fine art appraisers. With a few highly successful and much anticipated
aftermarket auctions in both Texas and New Mexico, a small cohort of
Texas artists have seen an increase in the demand of works dating from
the mid 1950’s to the 1990’s.
In “Texas Vintage”, J.R Mooney Galleries of Fine Art is proud to curate a
powerful selection of artworks that give us a glimpse of the dynamic
force of Texas Vintage Art. Pulling from multiple sources and
collections, the gallery will showcase masterpieces, unique
acquisitions, and rare fine art in this ‘not to be missed’ exhibition of Vintage Texas Art.

G. (Gerald) Harvey, one of the most
regionally recognized artists of western nostalgia, recently reached a
new aftermarket auction record in April 2015 at $400,000.00. With an
average ceiling of $150,000 - $200,00.00 for his signature western
paintings, “TX” will be showcasing his earlier landscape paintings from
circa 1950’s as well as select paintings from his traditional
cowboy/ranch hand/West Texas Oil varieties. Accompanying this selection
of highly collectable, midcentury work will be “ready-to-hang” framed
reproductions on canvas and paper from Somerset Publishing; all framed
by J.R. Mooney Galleries.
Jose Vives-Atsara, one of San Antonio’s most
celebrated Spanish artists will be represented with a body of still
life paintings, landscape, and floral paintings; bringing to light
artwork from the archived collection of the gallery and exhibit portions
of the after-market collection that have not been seen in over 20
years.
Porfirio Salinas, an Early Texas landscape painter who gained
international recognition for his stylistic depictions of the Texas Hill
Country and in particular the bluebonnets, was a favorite painter of
President Lyndon Johnson who hung five of Salinas’s bluebonnet paintings
in the White House - three in the bedrooms and two for the study. “TX”
will include multiple selections of Salinas’s Texas Hill Country
landscapes spanning several seasons and eras.
Other selections of Texas Hill Country aesthetic, Western selections,
Bronze reliefs and sculptures, bluebonnet depictions will include
artworks by W.A. Slaughter, Billy Saathoff, Santa Duran, Helen Hunter,
and many other Texas favorites.
