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.

'The Yankee' — America's Cup, 1934
By Jacques La Grange
Located in Myrtle Beach, SC
Jacques La Grange, 'The Yankee', color woodcut, edition 500, 1934. Signed and numbered '25/500' in pencil. A fine impression, with fresh colors, on cream wove paper, with margins (1 1/8 to 1 1/4 inches), in excellent condition. A work from La Grange’s celebrated series of woodcuts 'Drama and Color in the America's Cup Races'. Image size 10 x 10 11/16 inches (254 x 271 mm); sheet size 12 1/4 x 13 1/4 inches (311 x 337 mm). Archivally matted to museum standards, unframed. When the artist created this print in 1934, the 'Yankee' was one of the most promising yachts eligible for the America's Cup but ultimately 'Rainbow' was chosen to defend against England's 'Endeavor' in that year's race. The 'Endeavor' was built for Thomas Sopwith who used his aviation design expertise to ensure the yacht was the most advanced of its day with a steel hull and mast. She was launched in 1934 and won many races in her first season but the Cup challenge was blighted by a strike of Sopwith's professional crew prior to departing for America. Forced to rely mainly on keen amateurs, who lacked the necessary experience, the campaign failed. 'Rainbow' won the series 4–2. This was one of the most contentious of the America's Cup battles and prompted the headline "Britannia rules the waves and America waives the rules." ABOUT THE ARTIST Jacques La Grange was born in Clanwilliam (near Cape Town) in South Africa in 1895. He studied at London University and later immigrated to the United States. La Grange established himself as a painter, illustrator, and printmaker specializing in nautical subjects. He and his wife, Helen La Grange, published 'Drama and Color in the America's Cup Races' in 1934 and 'Clipper Ships of America and Great Britain 1833-1869', in 1936. Both were deluxe hardcover limited edition volumes with signed original color woodblock prints. La Grange had solo exhibitions at the Buchanan Gallery in 1929; the Babcock Gallery and the 56th Street Gallery, New York, in 1930; and at the Nicholas Roerich...
