Bonhams New York is pleased to announce the February 13, 2007 sale of dog-themed paintings, décor and memorabilia, marking its 25th anniversary of sales within this collecting category. Previous auctions have garnered world record prices for depictions of “man’s best friend” and the 2007 offering includes works by: Thomas Blinks, John Emms, Henriette Ronner-Knip, Edmund Bristow, Edmund Henry Osthaus, John Dalby and Ruben Ward Binks, among others.
In 1982 Bonhams was the first major auction house to fully recognize this niche market, beloved by collectors and canine enthusiasts worldwide. Timed to coincide with the world famous Westminster Dog Show, Bonhams’ auctions of dog-related works have grown into the largest offerings of their type on the auction calendar. This year’s sale features more than 230 lots. The sale in February 2006 brought Bonhams’ highest total ever, fetching more than $1.7-million, and achieving several world record prices, including a staggering $842,250 for the oil New Forest Foxhounds by John Emms.
