The Limners show has aroused great interest and enthusiasm, and we will be holding it over through the rest of the month.
A reception was held Thursday the 22nd at which Limners members Colin Graham (and wife Sylvia), Walter Dexter, Pat Martin Bates, Alex Lavdovsky and Carole Sabiston were present, as well as Robin and Sylvia Skelton's daughter Alison. Also among the many others attending were Phyllis Serota, who created a painting of the event for the event, Robert Amos, who documented the occasion on the spot with his ready brush, and artists Godfrey Stephens and Laird Campbell, who regaled us with a touch of the sparkling Limners spirit of old...
thanks to all! Here are a couple of pictures, with more to come.

Ongoing sales and trades amongst the inventory have made it rather impossible to present a comprehensive catalogue during the event. Please allow us to tempt your curiosity with the following list instead:

The Limners Group – a sample of work available as of Jan 10th/09

THE VETERAN
by Max Bates
O/d 24" x 20"
Produced in 1961, there was a very limited run of this intriguing image; this print is number 4 of the 16. It is framed simply and modestly priced at $1100.


SIX FIGURES
By Richard Ciccimarra
O/d 13" X 15"
A classic example of this artist's work; it was likely produced in 1965. Pat Bovey featured a version of the piece in her book “The Limners - A passion for Art” (1996, Sono Nis Press). The work is newly framed featuring perfect proportioning and highest-grade protective glass. This rare find is $3700.


BAD GIRL PLATES
By Walter Dexter
Diameter: 11.5"
Apparently Walter is still having fun. We are being offered an opportunity to share the joy…there are two plates with similar images. Each is $310.

Limners Opening

As you know, our Limners show is now on. Thanks to everyone who came out for our opening on New Years Day, it was lovely. The show continues until January 22nd, so please stop by anytime before then. As pieces are bought, they come off the walls and new work goes up, so the show is changing nearly everyday.
