- LARGE ANDREW MOORE PHOTOGRAPH, SIMON'S
LARGE ANDREW MOORE PHOTOGRAPH, SIMON'S SCHOOLHOUSE MUSE...Andrew Moore (American/ b. 1957) "Simon's Schoolhouse Museum, Remington County, South Dakota," 2014, Ed. 2/5, photographic archival pigment print. Titled and dated on label en verso from Jackson Fine Art, Atlanta, GA. Housed under glass in an ebonized wood frame. Sight: 35 1/2" H x 47 1/2" W. Framed: 37 1/4" H x 49" W. Note: This photograph was part of a decade long project for his book, "Dirt Meridian," in which photographer Andrew Moore traveled to homestead sites along the 100th meridian line of longitude running through Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, to witness how pioneers attracted by the Homestead Act fared generations later. The subject of this particular photograph was the invitation-only "Schoolhouse Museum" started in 1972 by Edgar Simon, a fifth generation South Dakota farmer, rancher, poet and historian who tries to "collect and display every possible variation of the objects that capture his fascination." Artist Biography: A native of Connecticut, Andrew Moore has taught at Princeton University and currently teaches at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His large-format color photographs capture architectural elements and urban landscapes and his "perpetual fascination with certain kinds of decayed spaces that have been reappropriated or reused or where the evidence of people struggling to keep their dignity lingers, places that have been abandoned but retain the ghosts of what they were." Moore's work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the National Gallery of Art. He received the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship as well as grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, New York State Council on the Arts, and several private foundations.

- Very probably John Ruskin (British 1819-1900)
Very probably John Ruskin (British 1819-1900) "Bones of a Female Foot" 1844 graphite watercolor and gouache on gray wove paper laid down; unsigned 7 1/16 x 12 in. in a modern mount; inscribed in a later hand en verso "156-22-62". Provenance: Sir Henry Acland (1815-1900) Surgeon Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University 1844; Sir Henry Wentworth Dyke Acland; Sir William Henry Dyke Acland Baronet by 1965; his sale Christie's London 22 March 1966 lot 62 sold to Alister Matthews Bournemouth and Poole; purchased from the latter by James R. Lamantia Jr. New Orleans and New York. Published: William R. Cullison III and James Lamantia An Eye for Architecture Tulane University Library (Southeastern Architectural Archive) New Orleans 1984 p. 24 no. 22. Note: This drawing has been somewhat ambiguous of attribution from its very inception. On 27 November 1844 the young Ruskin wrote to the Oxford surgeon Dr. Henry Acland (who had loaned Ruskin a box of human bones purportedly but not accurately containing a full skeleton) that "[George] Richmond has lent me a lady's foot-the contours of which are exquisite-finished to perfection-I am drawing it for the book-tried to foreshorten it twice and couldn't[;] but the profile is finest luckily" (Oxford Bodleian Library MSS. Acland d. 72 folio 4 c). The book to which Ruskin refers was a volume containing anatomical drawings as well as very early and valuable vintage photographs being compiled by Dr. Acland (the invention of photography had only been announced by William Henry Fox Talbot in 1839). That album was given to the Bodleian in 1983 (MS. Photogr. b. 34) by his descendant Mrs. Peter Tabor after her father Sir William Henry Dyke Acland had removed the non-photographic items from it and sold them at Christie's as recorded above. Since this sheet thus has both an unbroken chain of ownership and a clear statement by Ruskin himself not only that he drew it but that he drew it in the profile view we see here there should certainly be no question as to his documented authorship. But ironically Ruskin had also given drawing lessons to Dr. Acland himself; and a suspicion lingers that this sheet precisely though it may match its description in Ruskin's letter might possibly have been executed instead by that very Dr. Henry Acland (whose sketchbooks surviving at the Ashmolean Museum Oxford unfortunately offer no useful testimony as to this question). The reasons for which such a suspicion is probably not warranted are the very fact that the foot in question did not belong to Acland himself but rather to George Richmond in London who loaned it directly to Ruskin. Second the young artist's self-avowed difficulties of rendering the foot in foreshortened views could very well have occasioned the heavy un-Ruskinian crosshatching behind it-so effective as an obliteration-that has engendered the uncertainty (albeit expressed only verbally) of such critics as Tim Hilton (Ruskin The Early Years London 1985). Certainly this sheet was always recognized to be an autograph drawing of Ruskin's by the Acland family and confirmed as such when it was offered in the Acland sale in 1966: it was paired there with a Rhine Landscape inscribed by Ruskin to "Dear Acland " and the two sheets even at that early date fetched 100 guineas (£105). It should also be said that no less a luminary (and fellow early photographer) than Professor Charles Lutwidge Dodgson of Oxford University-the immortal Lewis Carroll 1832-1898-noted in his diary (Thursday 12 November 1857 published by The Lewis Carroll Society 1993) that he had attended "an evening party at Dr. Acland's " where he had been shown what seems to be this same skeletal image and judged it to be "an exquisite drawing by Ruskin."
