Fine Arts
March 6, 1879 issue

add to cart   close window

The exhibition, which closed last week has been marked by one of those impulses of attachment on the part of fashion which are the best guaranty of life for an art in this mixed world. The card with "Sold" on it was hung to one-fifth of the purchasable works, and about ten thousand dollars' worth of the catalogue prices set over to the painters' account. Important concessions had, however, to be made by the artists to secure these transfers and probably fifteen per cent of the price charged for the purchases was remitted. The Exhibition's black-and-white department showed a more satisfying measure of the tendencies, ambitions, and experiments of native art than the larger and strictly water-colored collection.
