Horse in Art 2012 Judges

The selection panel for 2D work has been finalised comprising of five Full Members of the Society of Equestrian Artists. Barry Peckham SEA and Sally Martin SEA were both judges last year and will help to maintain consistency and Colin Allbrook RI SEA returns after a few years absence. We are delighted to welcome 2011 Cuneo Medal winner, Rosemary Welch SEA and also Glynis Mills SEA, who has actually spent many years recording the results of judging as it takes place, so she is well aware of the standard required.

In addition to the SEA’s, the panel will include John Baskett, a curator of the Paul Mellon Collection, author of “The Horse in Art” and former Chairman of the Society of London Art Dealers and Ian McIntyre, publisher and well known collector of contemporary art who has owned race horses with Peter Rossdale and three day event horses ridden by Pippa Funnel.

The 3D panel comprises Ann Baxter SEA, who has judged in the past and is a previous winner of the Cuneo Medal and the British Sporting Art Trust Sculpture Award. From outside the Society we have Geoffrey Hughes, Director of the Osborne Studio Gallery, specialists in Sporting paintings and bronzes by leading contemporary artists with an emphasis on Horse Racing. We also welcome Charles Lane, writer of many articles on Sporting Art for BSAT and a former judge on the 2D panel.
