I love Kuhnert's work! Anyone know a link to any for sale here in the U.S.?


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Don't know of any for sale, but when I worked at the Fort Worth Zoo, they had one of the largest private collections of Kuhnert art around I believe.

They even built a special gallery to house it.


Even the rocks don't last forever.

His last painting to come to market was sold through Sotheby's 2010 for a staggering hammer price.

Several of his paintings are now on display at the National Wildlife Museum in Jackson hole Wyoming. They are all breath taking.

He really had a way of exuding the realistic drama to his paintings, you just feel good looking in to them.

Better than the fellow in the painting above, anyway!

generalwar, where in Surrey did you reside. I lived in Walton-on-Thames from 1975-78. Great times for a 15yr old!

That is the most shocking piece of art I've ever seen. So graphic and a true aspect of Africa that the 'greenys' would faint over or be DRT.

Shortly I'm putting up some watercolors from a Julius Wolf that were done in Ethopia back in the '50s. Don't know a thing about him despite looking everywhere. A relative gave them to me and I think I'm going to put them up for grabs.

I've got to see the other paintings from the 'man eater' artist.

Thanks for the link, Kathi. I have had numerous discussions with artist colleagues over the history of this painting. Your link sets the record straight,

It's an African analog to Ernest Thompson Seton's "Triumph of the Wolves." Well worth the trip to Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, New Mexico.

I wonder how much a painting like that sells for. Was a price published ? I know my wife would not let me hang it up in the living room. It's such a shocker

Was not there, I emailed them, lets see if they will tell us. There is some interesting history to that painting on Drakes website.

I also asked Drake for a sale price and have heard nothing, yet. Been since last week.

I'd like to meet the wife who would let this painting hang in the living room. It's a given mine won't.

This has to be the most shocking African art I've seen.

Banovich has a similar painting. You can hang them both in your living room . . . assuming you are single.

Not all art is meant to be hung in the living room! For example, either one of those two pieces would look pretty good in my gunroom - right next to the coyote skulls!

Saw the Banovich in his last mailing; it's one of a few that I hope my wife selects from for Christmas. I'm saving a space between a kudu and gemsbok right over the computer in my office for the picture.

They deliver two buffalo -- a floor pedestal and a European, and a Coke's Hartebeest and Wildebeest next week (rest is going home). Office is starting to take shape.
