From his humble beginnings in Northeast Louisiana to his multiple successes as

author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, Dallas businessman Sam Wyly has

assembled a wonderfully diverse and historically significant art collection that

speaks to both his love of storytelling and inexhaustible curiosity. Bookmarked by

stunning examples throughout, such as Frank Tenney Johnson’s The Pioneers and

Norman Rockwell’s Barbershop Quartet, the selected thirty-nine works from Mr. Wyly’s

collection initially resonated with him on a personal level. Rather than amassing a

group of similar styles, artists or subject matter, the self-made Wyly let his intuition

guide and shape his collection. Magnificent examples of illustration are nestled

alongside Western masterworks while political portraits share space with American

Naturalist prints. Much like Mr. Wyly’s unerring quest for finding a new challenge in

the business world, his appetite for something new, yet familiar, led him to seek

works with historical or individual importance, and often led him into unexamined

territory exploring a new artist, genre or era. The works offered ultimately reflect a

strong, singular story told one piece at a time, bolstered by the integrity of the entire

collection at large, offering a range of subjects, viewpoints, and styles for those

wanting to continue the story of the Wyly collection by starting one of their own.

As one of the largest birds living in North America, the AmericanWhite Pelican commands the full “Double Elephant Folio” pageof Audubon’s Havell first edition of The Birds of America. Standingat attention in a bold profile at approximately life-size, the striking lines and intricate detail of his beak, plumage andwebbed feet are a stark contrast to the darkened clouds hangingover his watery habitat. The vertical composition struggles toconfine this wondrous specimen with a 9-foot wingspan andone can easily grasp why this plate is one of the most coveted of the master American naturalist and painter’s illustrations.

After an initial unsuccessful fundraising stint, Audubon left theUnited States for the United Kingdom in 1826, looking for finan-cial support in the form of willing subscribers. Additionally, theavian artist was seeking the technical means of engravers andcolorists to reproduce his original drawings while overseas. Afterstarting the new project in Edinburgh, William H. Lizars had toabandon it after only ten plates were completed as members ofhis studio went on strike.

Therefore in 1827, Audubon entrusted the father-son studio ofRobert Havell Sr. & Jr., with the latter seeing it through to itscompletion in 1838. While copperplate etching was the primaryprinting technique utilized in these groundbreaking ornitho-logical plates, engraving and aquatint were also used with allaspects of color being added later by hand using watercolor.These large prints were issued in groups of five at a time andwere unbound when subscribers received them. Only laterwould Audubon issue the supplementary text under separatecover, published in collaboration with Scottish naturalist WilliamMacGillivray.

Provenance: The artist, prior to 1860; Charles J. Coggill, New York, NY; Mrs. S.

Rembrandt Peale was a highly regarded portrait artist who is best known for his paintings of George Washington. The son of therenowned artist, Charles Willson Peale, and a contemporary of Gilbert Stuart, Peale rivaled the talents of these men and gained a reputation as the foremost 19th century painter of Washington with works such as this 1856 “porthole” portrait of the “Patriae Pater” in full military dress.

At the age of seventeen, through a sitting arranged by his father, Peale had the distinct privilege to meet George Washington andcapture his first rendering of the illustrious president. This opportunity made him one of the very few artists fortunate enough topaint the historic figure from life. It was during this very meeting in 1795 that his father painted his famous, last portrait of Washington,which is currently on display in the National Portrait Gallery. Interestingly enough, it was after this same portrait that the youngerPeale styled this 1856 painting of the first President of the United States.

Driven by his patriotism and admiration of Washington, Peale made it his personal mission to continuously recreate this portrait, whilesuccessively striving to perfect the details and stylistic beauty of the celebrated “Father of our Country.” Here, Peale portrays the stoicgeneral with a flush of color in his cheeks and lively blue eyes, dressed regally in navy and gold complete with epaulettes and tied silkneckerchief. Despite his calm and noble disposition, Peale’s 1856 depiction shows a crumbling oval porthole, seemingly indicative ofan imminent Civil War.

Canvas: 40.25"H x 29.25"W; Frame: 44.625"H x 33.625"W.

Provenance: Gift to private collector from the artist circa 1950. Sotheby’s New York: May 24,2006, Lot 00126; From the Collection of Sam Wyly, Dallas, Texas.

Under the threat of a darkening sky full of clouds,a Midwestern farmer throws hay to his side, gentlyarching above the house and windmill situated ina stand of trees. The sinewy yield of golden cropwonderfully mirrors and contrasts against the billowy sky, cut by a calm blue through the middle.

As a self-taught artist and former house painter, St. Louis native Joe Jones frequently used the imagery of the working man as subject matterand motivation for his Depression Era works. Dur-ing these productive decades of the 30s and 40s,Jones’ inventive compositions and stark imageryoften examined social issues, race relations, in addition to the plight of the common man.

Jones produced several murals for the WPA duringthis time, alienated some supporters by joiningthe Communist Party and was also included insome major exhibitions in both New York andPhiladelphia. The strength and beauty of “RakingHay” lies within Jones’ technique and composi-tion, full of linear motion and a restrained sense oforder in both man and nature.

Provenance: Altermann Galleries & Auctioneers: October 23, 2004, Lot 70; From the Collection of Sam Wyly, Dallas, Texas.

While western artist Frank Tenney Johnson is chiefly knownfor his “moonlight technique” used in the majority of hispaintings, this stunning canvas is largely shaped by thelight of the campfire in the foreground. Johnson’s goldenhues ably demonstrate his mastery of color to illuminateand determine the figures and forms present in the com-position. As a deft counterplay, the horse and wagon behind the two pioneers are carved out in subtle moon-lit tones while the diagonal and vertical lines of the twomen and their guns ricochet the viewer’s gaze from thefire to their faces, back to the sunset and again to thepuddle mirrored at front.

During the time that this work was painted, Johnson wasliving in New York City after his time at the Art StudentsLeague and was also garnering acclaim for his illustrationsin several popular magazines. The artist would often taketrips out west for research and preliminary sketches andthen return back to his studio in New York to fully realizethe artwork.

Provenance: Heritage Auctions, Texas Art Auction, May, 19, 2007, Lot 36404; From the Collection of Sam Wyly, Dallas, Texas.

As one of the largest and most visually rich of Darge’spaintings, “Old Pedro the Goat Herder” juxtaposes thecentral titular figure against the West Texas landscapewith just a hint of cloudy sky above. The Texas artistlends credence to the gentle shepherd by dressing himin understated western attire and outfitting him onlywith a walking stick and simple satchel. He stands withhis docile herd scattered about him at his feet, looking in all directions. The differing compositional rhythms of the sky, hills, landscape, herd and foreground don’talter the cool demeanor of Old Pedro and his fixed, calmgaze beyond the frame. As it stands, there may be manypossible metaphors up for interpretation within thisstriking composition, but beyond all, a serene nature isconveyed in both man and animal and the landscape inwhich they share.

Literature: The Saturday Evening Post, November 5, 1960.(cover); Buechner, illus. 490, 571; Retrospective, p. 1332;Moffatt, C501, p. 229.

Published just three days before the 1960 Presidential election, this portrait commissioned by The Saturday Evening Post followed Rockwell’s companion painting of JFK issued a little more than a month before. Even as the sitting Vice-President under Eisenhower, Nixon lost his inaugural run for the highest office by only the slimmest ofmargins. With a deft touch, Rockwell renders the humanity of Nixon as interpreted through the features of the futurePresident’s set brown eyes and somewhat forced butfriendly smile. Seen now at a historical remove, it’s almost as if the subject was well aware of his complicated role inthe future of American politics.

One completely expects the men pictured inthis work to eventually burst into full-blownfour-part harmony with their expertly-renderedcountenances under constant threat of song.The trio grouped at left have their heads almosttouching in places, mouths all incongruouslyagape and eyes pointed in three different direc-tions while the man under the barber’s smock at right unapologetically bears his gaze straightdown at the viewer. This wonderfully drawn studyfor one of Rockwell’s most beloved SaturdayEvening Post covers is compositionally balancedsomewhere between the detailed heads andshoes of the men and simple folds and the understated lines of their clothing. Each is artfullyarmed with an implement of the trade, splayedhands as musical gesture or the latest issue of“Police Gazette.” The well-designed composi-tional tension from the master draftsman is palpable and instantly transports to the expec-tations of the subject at hand. As evidenced byAmerican’s most celebrated illustrator in thismagnificent work and again, reminded by theartist’s inscription at bottom, “Never forget theGood God.”

As was one of the central figures of the Hudson River School, Sonntag was best known for his romanticized landscapes andgrandeur vistas. Highly influenced by the work of Thomas Cole, he sought to depict the idyllic scenes of the Northeast with itsserene mountain ranges and quiet rivers. This piece, titled “River View,” touches on all the defining characteristics of Sonntag’sstyle with its tranquil scene of a fisherman at sunset, hardly noticeable nestled amongst the vast mountains and quiet river,alive with the reflection of fall colors.

Martin Grelle is a noted painter of western genre scenes and cowboys. He is a member of the Cowboy Artists of American and the2002 and 2005 recipient of the Prix de West Award from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Center in Oklahoma City. Thispiece alludes to the old Woodland Indian legend of nature spirits, which were often described as child-like beings, or “Little People.”Their reputation differed from tribe to tribe as some interpreted them as genial spirits while others feared their powers. According to folklore, gifts were offered up to the Little People in order to bring the tribes good fortune.

With his use of bold lines, vibrant shapes and primary colors, Calder carves out a space between abstraction and design like no other American artist. Credited with creating the modernmobile, the sculptural stabile and reinventing toys and jewelry in an art context, the prolific Calder wonderfully distills his sense of composition and form as presented here in this magnif-icent large-scale work on paper from 1973. The thick contours of the mountain forms are dwarfed by the wide reach of sunrays and a sky filled by horizontal black-and-white bands.Placed in the foreground at left is the only volumetric shape in the composition, a lightly colored grounded sphere whose lines playfully echo both the pyramids and the sky above.

With this wonderful grouping of four sculptures by Harry Bertoia, one can easily grasp the formal and technical proficiencies that informed the diverse paths of the celebrated artist, sculptor and designer. Created over a span of two decades of Bertoia’s varied and prolific career, these works range from an early planar landscape with sprouting vegetal forms in brazed metals to a human-scale “Sonambient” sound sculpture whose rods are set diagonally across the base. Additionally, an early example of the artist’s bushsculptures set on a stone cube base and a 1967 maquette for a fountain for the Philadelphia Civic Center (not realized) round out the lots offered here. As they straddle the line between art and design, their tactile sensibilities inform and excite the eye while always referring back to their creation by the artist’s hand.

Note: Deed of Conveyance signed and issued by the artist comes with this lot.

Beginning in the late 1950s, Chamberlain started working with crushed automobile parts that he welded togetherto form stand-alone sculptures. Due to the readymade qualities of dealing with the prescribed size and form of theraw materials, the majority of the early work – and well into the 1980s – roughly assumes a human scale. Always experimenting throughout his career, Chamberlain utilized foam, aluminum, Plexiglass and film as his medium ofchoice. However, the simplicity of both material and form is also refined by means of method-making over the spanof his career. With his later tabletop-sized works like “Fistfull of Funn,” Chamberlain echoes the found qualities of hisearly automotive sculptures with a simplified system of linear steel elements marked in an alternating palette ofshiny chrome and controlled colors, resulting in a dynamic, yet closed knot of contained energy.
