Another one of our important objectives is to educate the public on American art.  The gallery maintains a large library for its own research.   The publishing of scholarly books and catalogues is another way we bring information to our clients. From small exhibition catalogues to large reference books such as the forthcoming Cyclopedia of American Impressionism, our Gallery offers these publications for purchase.   Please contact the gallery for current pricing. Limited quantities available on some titles.

Richard H. Love is currently working on a book based on the works of Edward H. Potthast. 

R.H. Love Galleries Books and Catalogues - 2007

New Publication: E. Boyd Smith Diary: The diary from the hand of Elmer Boyd Smith (1860-1943, The Diary of E. Boyd Smith is a direct transcription from the original hand-written diary, dated 1882-1888, of the artist and illustrator E. Boyd Smith (1860-1943), a fascinating and intriguing story of an American artist’s uphill battle against poverty, bad luck and indifference. A foreword, introduction and afterword have been added, as well as scholarly footnotes, all of which provides an art historical context to the painter’s life experiences both here and abroad. While the introduction outlines Smith's early career, the afterword briefly traces the activities of the artist following the last entry of the journal when he began to find financial success as a painter and book illustrator (in the late 1890s). Through the Great Depression and into his golden years Smith led a quiet but active life in Wilton, Connecticut, appropriately located in the “Cradle of American Impressionism.”  E. Boyd Smith’s day-to-day accounting of his youthful travels, strange encounters and highlights and disappointments make for reading even more fascinating than fiction.

Catalogue Raisonné Projects:

The importance of these very detailed, scholarly projects is to uncover and publish as many original works of art done by a particular artist. In addition, revealing as much as possible about lost works greatly increases the chance of rediscovery. This process may take a scholar's lifetime to document the entire history and career of an artist.  Having a work included in any catalogue raisonné gives the owner satisfaction of knowing that his or her works are formally documented forever on record.  Michael Preston Worley, Ph.D is  currently working on the following catalogue raisonné projects:

Lawton S. Parker
Harriet Randall Lumis
Carl W. Peters
Louis Ritman
Helen Hamilton
Gustave Cimiotti

Should you own a work by any one of these artists, and you wish to bring it to light by having it included in an authoritative reference book,  please contact Richard H. Love or Michael Worley, Ph.D at 1-800-437-7568 or mworley@rhlovegalleries.com
