1289 - Clement Bernard Haupers (American, 1900-1982). Two graphite on paper landscape drawings, each pencil signed along the lower right. Including: one depicting a rural farm landscape featuring a windmill; one depicting a quiet lakeside town, pencil titled "Big Marine Lake" and dated 1955 along the lower right. "Big Marine Lake" with an inked inscription along the interior of the mat reading "place - Big Marine Lake - '55 pencil sketch *how Ari Fields (MNHS) + Colles read the script." 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.
