- Lot Description
Lester Wilton Raymer (1907-1991)
Jury 1964
1964
The droll snapshot of what a jury of one's peers could look like is signed and dated lower right front and again verso.
In a diary about his work, Lester Raymer wrote 'The test of a great work of art is its immediate impact on the viewer.'*
This delightful study has impact times twelve. Each portrait has something all its own to offer, a dozen opportunities for amusing and insightful impact, thirteen when considering the work as a whole. And besides being an interesting statement on diversity, there are other layers of curiosity, like the member of the panel who appears to wear a mask, or the jurors whose heads are shaped more like an egg than almost all of Raymer's figures (though he did paint a lot of eggs). This painting is a great example of an object that, 'speaks to you.'

AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER.

The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.
