About the Item

AMERICA'S CUP - 1967. BEAT TO THE FINISH - INTREPID (USA) VS. DAME PATTIE (AUS). “Beat to the Finish” is a 1967 watercolor by Joseph Webster Golinklin. Paper size 21 1/2 x 29 1/2" (54 x 74.9 cm). Signed upper left. Titled on verso. "Condemned to a disappointing performance by poor sails, Dame Pattie, well campaigned, lags behind Intrepid on the final leg of the third race. Intrepid, having survived a helicopter attack and lost one hundred yards doing it, is back in good shape and will lay the line on the next tack." Race won by Intrepid. Illustrated on page 101 of "The Twelve Meter Challenges for the America's Cup" by Norris D. Hoyt. The American sailing yacht INTREPID was designed by Olin Stephens and Britton Chance, Jr. (re-design). Intrepid won two America’s Cup races- 1967 and 1970. The Australian yacht DAME PATTIE was designed by Warwick Hood and built by W. H. Barnett. JOSEPH WEBSTER GOLINKIN (1896-1977) Painter, printmaker, naval officer, politician, environmentalist, and philanthropist. He was a true renaissance man – excelling in everything he pursued. Golinkin was born in Chicago on September 10, 1896, and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. He entered the United States Naval Academy and upon graduation was commissioned as an Ensign and immediately deployed to serve in World War I. He remained in the Navy until 1922 when he resigned from his commission to pursue his original career as an artist. He remained, however, in the active reserve as a Lieutenant Commander. After leaving the Navy, Golinkin moved to New York where he studied at the Art Students League with Ash Can school artist, George Luks. The two artists became fast friends and Luks introduced him to many other artists. During the 1920s and 1930s, Golinkin exhibited with a number of other well-known artists including George Bellows, Joseph Margulies, and David Shotwell. He was also represented by a number of famous dealers in New York City including Ferargil Galleries, Macbeth Gallery, and Van der Straeten. He had one-artist shows at the Museum of the City of New York, Macbeth Gallery, Ferargil Galleries, Gump's in San Francisco, San Francisco Art Gallery, and the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. His works are part of many museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum, New York Public Library, Museum of the City of New York, Library of Congress, and the Art Institute of Chicago. As an artist, Golinkin worked in many mediums including painting, watercolor, and lithography. While his subjects varied, two would dominate his work – scenes of New York and sports. He produced a large body of prints, drawings, and lithographs surrounding these two subjects. His images of New York cover many subjects including scenes of life in the city and the buildings. The images capture the ambiance of the late 1920s and early 1930s. The sporting events Golinkin depicted include baseball, bicycle racing, bowling, boxing, football, hockey, horse racing, horse shows, golf, polo, tennis, track and field, wrestling, and yacht racing. He was awarded the Gold Medal for Artistic Excellence in Relation to Sport at the X Olympiad in 1932 and again at the XI Olympiad in 1936. Golinkin's sporting scenes have been reproduced as posters for several Olympic Games. His work is also in the collections of the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Palm Beach Polo Club, Madison Square Garden, numerous yacht clubs, and in the personal collections of well-known athletes and sports enthusiasts throughout the world. When the Navy reactivated him in 1938, his artistic career was put on hold. He served with great distinction during WWII, was awarded the Bronze Star, and retired from the Navy in 1958 with the rank of Rear Admiral. His other careers include serving for twelve years as Mayor of Centre Island, New York. As an early environmentalist, he formed a nonpartisan civic association that successfully opposed building a Robert Moses proposed bridge that would have connected Oyster Bay and Rye, New York. Golinkin not only served his country as an officer in the Navy, a politician, and civic leader, but he also left a large legacy of his artistic vision of the city and sporting life in America.

Where Wild Hibiscus Grows, Absecon Island, NJ, Watercolor of Jersey Shore 1894
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Peter Caledon Cameron (American, born Scotland, 1852-c. 1920) Absecon Island, New Jersey, 1894 Watercolor on paper, 17 1/2 x 27 inches (sight) FRAMED: 26 1/2 x 36 1/2 inches Signed and dated at lower left: "ABSECON.ISLAND./ N.J-U.S.A Cameron/1894" N.J-U.S.A Cameron/1894" Born in Perth, Scotland, Peter Caledon Cameron won awards for drawing and penmanship at a Glasgow public school. He claimed that at the age of fourteen his watercolors were already "in demand," and that before turning twenty he had "crossed every ocean in the world, sketching and painting as he went." He attended the Government School of Design in London and was certified as an art master in 1883. Cameron immigrated to the United States that year, settled in Philadelphia, and commenced work on large history paintings such as Niagara in Winter (unlocated) and Vesuvius in Grand Eruption (unlocated) that he exhibited in various northern cities. He exhibited one painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1902. Nothing is known of his activities later in life. In a lengthy inscription that accompanies this watercolor, Cameron noted that Absecon was "a piece of the best sand-dune region characteristic of the whole coast of New Jersey State from Sandy Hook point in the North to Cape May Point in the extreme south." This was one among a number of studies the artist made for a large oil painting titled "Captain Kidd Burying His Treasure" (unlocated). The famous Scottish privateer Captain William Kidd...
