This month's major art show at Security State Bank suddenly has become more impressive. Right here in Abilene, for the rest of the month. His work and Henriette's, along with that of the late N.C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth and the late Peter Hurd, are among more than 200 pieces available for viewing and most for purchase. N.C. Wyeth's daughter and Andrew Wyeth's sister. Michael Hurd is the couple's son.
Some unframed prints are available for several hundred dollars.
Warren secured the second family showing here in three years through his friendship with Michael Hurd. They currently are planning a sale for August, featuring personal belongings, at the family's Hurd-La Rinconada Gallery located in the New Mexican countryside near San Patricio. Art historians call Henriette one of the great women painters of this century. She was the only Wyeth family member to move west from Pennsylvania, settling in a New Mexico valley just east of Ruidoso. Through his friendship with Michael and because brochures already were printed, prices set before Henriette's death are being honored.
