Newly Acquired Andrew Turner Painting
I was introduced to Andrew Turner and his work in the mid '70s at an outdoor art and music event just outside his native Chester, PA. Then in the early '90s, I read an article in the Philadelphia Inquire about prominent artist in Chester, in which he was featured... I've been following, and enjoying his work ever since. I was struck by the emotion, energy and jazz improvisational style of his paintings. I never got to own any of his work until recently, over 10 years after his death. I'm now going through the nervous process of authenticating the painting that I bought at auction. For now I can only hope that I purchased an authentic Andrew Turner painting.
He was a very prolific painter who painted in many ways, true to his improvisational style. He also signed his work at times, that reflected the painting, instead of just applying his standard signature... Both reasons why I took a risk buying the work at a local auction.
Hopefully the "Art Gods" will smile upon me... Wish me luck! tjh
