A Yachtsman's Eye : W.W. Norton and Company : 9780393060638 : 0393060632 : 01 Nov 2005 : Both a gentleman sailor and a true connoisseur, Glen Foster had a passion for sailing that produced a rare understanding of the finest in marine art. Before its breakup upon his death in 1999, Glen's collection of historic American and British yachting and marine art was widely regarded as one of the finest in the country and established new auction records when a portion was sold in 2002. Here for the first time is a glimpse of the masterpieces in Glen's collection, presented in full color with copious descriptions contributed by some of the best historians of marine art today. Over eighty pieces by such artists as J. E. Buttersworth, Frederic Schiller Collens, Fitz Hugh Lane, Robert Salmon, E. T. Baker, and others are shown in full-page reproductions with descriptions relating to the scene or race depicted and notes on the artist and medium.
