About the Item

Anne Diggory (b. 1951) Out of the Sun (Under the Racetrack Grandstand), 1978 Watercolor on paper 7 x 10 inches Signed and dated lower left Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist Anne Diggory lives in Saratoga Springs, NY, and frequently paints in the Adirondacks and on her travels to places such as Arizona, Alaska and Morocco. She graduated from Yale and has a Master of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University. Diggory has a passion for the landscapes of Hudson River School artists, such as Alexander Helwig Wyant, John Frederick Kensett, William Trost Richards, and David Johnson, and was rewarded with a solo exhibition at the Albany Institute of History & Art in April 2019. She exhibits extensively in the New York and New England area. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections nationwide, including recent purchases by the Upstate Cancer Center in Syracuse, Phoenix Home Life in Albany, Bessemer Trust in San Francisco, and AYCO in Saratoga Springs. Her unique portrayals of the historic Saratoga Racetrack from the late 1970s and 1980s caught our eye because they focus primarily on the bettors, gamblers, handicappers, spectators, crowds, and general atmosphere of the summer horseracing meet, rather than the horses and jockeys. One of the premier tracks in the country along with Keeneland, Gulfstream Park, Churchill Downs, Del Mar, and Santa Anita, Saratoga Race Course was founded in 1863 and is the oldest major sporting venue of any kind in the country.
