my father was her physician, and we have 10+ lithographs, one oil painting, and several sculptures. Stanley Marcus also collected her work. Her Santa Fe images are my favorites. My father has sold several Hubbards at an Austin gallery, it is near the capitol and I believe it is called the Texas Country Gallery
Bess Hubbard was probably the most progressive artist in Lubbock, and a wide area of West Texas, in the 1930-50s. She seems to have had an unrelenting thirst for new ideas and experiences. We have over a hundred works of her’s in the collection and are always looking for others. If you know of anyone, including yourself, who might want to part with any of her artworks, please let me know. peter.briggs@ttu.edu. I am the Curator of Art at the Museum of Texas Tech University.
I am writing a piece on Bess Hubbard for the AJ, can I use your comments in my story? Dolores Mosser
Dolores Mosser,
They are public remarks, so I do not think that you need permission but we do appreciate your courtesy. I would request that you cite the source (Artist Printmaker/Photographer Research Collection at the Museum of Texas Tech University)…maybe even include the URL? Of course, it is always a pleasure to read before publication the context in which one’s remarks are framed. So, if that is possible, I would be in your debt. Peter S Briggs
I will stay in touch, thank you very much.
You may certainly use my remarks. I was told that Ms. Hubbard was represented in a museum of American women sculptors, in DC, i believe. Can you tell me any more?
I am looking for the sculpture which she named Joi. She first did a direct carving and then cast it in bronze as well.
I am also looking for the direct carving which she entitled Madonna And Child.
Do you have any information on either of this pieces?
Sorry, we have no information on any castings of this sculpture by Bess Hubbard.
