On view at Hirschl & Adler Galleries this season is “The Art of Trains,” an exhibition of highlights from the collection of Peter and Christine Mosse.
As a teen growing up in England, Peter became enthralled by steam locomotives and started collecting railroad documents and equipment. After moving to New York in 1977, he turned his attention to fine art that depicts anything to do with railroads.
Today the collection encompasses approximately 250 paintings, watercolors, and drawings made in Britain, North America, France, Russia, Haiti, and China.
Last year the Mosses promised the entire collection to the Center for Railroad Photography & Art in Madison, Wisconsin, where Peter serves on the board. In celebration of this generous gift, Hirschl & Adler has selected 22 representative works, which now comprise the first exhibition of railroad art in New York City in over 50 years, and very likely the first showing of such pieces from a single private collection.
