1288 - Clement Haupers (American, 1900-1982). Group of four graphite and ink on paper drawings, each pencil signed along the lower margin. Including three graphite landscape drawings, one pencil dated 1928 and inscribed "S/M" along the lower right; and one graphite and ink figurative drawing, pencil inscribed "S/M" along the lower center. Provenance: From the Collection of Colles & John Larkin, Minnesota. As pillars of the Twin Cities cultural community, Colles B. Larkin and her late husband, Dr. John Larkin (1930-2019), spent decades quietly driving the growth and prestige of Minnesota’s arts scene. The couple served as a formidable bridge between professional scholarship and institutional stewardship: Colles brought the scholarly rigor of an experienced curator, while Dr. Larkin provided nearly six combined decades of board leadership at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) and the Minnesota Museum of American Art (The M). Together, they didn't just collect fine art; they actively sustained the region's cultural ecosystem by funding exhibitions, donating key works to public collections, and opening their private holdings to scholars and art lovers alike. Lots from the Larkin Collection signify an origin anchored in deep artistic expertise, civic vision, and an unwavering commitment to the Minnesota arts community.
