Helen Rundell's prints can be found in the private collections of Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Ben Crenshaw, Curtis Strange, Tom Kite, Ray Floyd, former U.S. President Gerald R. Ford as well as such prestigious public collections as the Smithsonian Institute; the Nelson Rockefeller Collection; the National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C.; and the National Military Academy at West Point. Rundell succeeds in bringing her subjects to life with uncompromising precision, and an innate passion for accuracy. "In some ways, I consider myself an oddity; I don't endure the arduous task of applying detail, I enjoy it." Despite the exacting technical demands Rundell places upon herself, she attributes her international acclaim to the deep emotion she brings to her art. About her art: "If there is one desire I have," says Helen Rundell of her work, "it is to capture the passion of the game...to give the viewer a glimpse into the past, and hold it there for all eternity." Rarely does golf art succeed so well in this goal and rarely does a collection of fine art offer the signatures of the legends of the game. Helen Rundell's commitment to her art remains undiminished, for as she states, "There will always be a place in my heart for the sport of golf." An original lithograph is not an ordinary "print." Each of the 16 colors are applied by pulling the museum quality, acid-free paper from individual mylar plates, carefully supervised by the artist. This rare and difficult method creates the three dimensional appearance of an original painting. See Her Art >> |
