We are very pleased to announce a special offering at this year’s Artist Studio Tour!
The estate of John R. and Janet Stahl has donated 250 works of John’s art to the Hoffman Center, which will be offered for sale July 18-19 in our classroom.
Originally from rural Michigan, John and Jan began their married lives together in Portland, where John graduated from the Museum Art School (now the Pacific Northwest College of Art), before settling in Netarts, Oregon in 1979. For decades, he worked joyfully in his large home studio.
John was a beloved Pacific Northwest modernist who spent decades painting, printing, carving, and creating in his studio on the Oregon Coast, on Netarts Bay. His collection spans oils, watercolors, prints, sculptures, and his distinctive hand-painted duck decoys, and hand-carved river rock.
This work is priced below original gallery values and will sell as-is, direct from the studio (much of the work will be un-matted/un-framed).
All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Hoffman Center for the Arts.
We will also be selling a full-color, 136 page hardcover book on Stahl’s art, life and career, written by Hull with additional short essays by Janet Stahl, former Portland Art Museum curator Bonnie Laing-Malcolmson and Portland artist Lucinda Parker.
