The 12th annual Sporting Art Collection, presented by Keeneland in partnership with the Cross Gate Gallery of Lexington, will take place Friday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. ET in the Keeneland Sales Pavilion.

A total of 203 lots will be offered showcasing a wide range of fine Sporting art and American painting as well as sculptures by masters of their genre. Among the offering are works by Sir Alfred J. Munnings, the official 2024 Breeders' Cup program-cover artwork by Charles Church, a group of quality LeRoy Neimans, New Western paintings and a number of works by the late Peter Howell.

Most notable perhaps is Sir Alfred J. Munnings's 'Lady Munnings on Magnolia', one of several portraits depicting Lady Munnings on a casual ride on her hunter, Magnolia. This mare by Ascot Gold Cup winner Happy Man is featured as the stunning dappled grey throughout Munnings's celebrated Epsom paintings of 1931.

The Sporting Art collection is open to the public for viewing. In keeping with its mission, Keeneland's portion of the auction proceeds will benefit its non-profit initiatives.
