Overview: 30 paintings of horses and drawings by one of Paul Mellon's favorite English painters were shown as a tribute to Mr. Mellon. The exhibition opened on the day after the third Andrew W. Mellon dinner, which marked his retirement as chairman of the board and trustee of the National Gallery. Many of the works had been seen earlier at the Tate Gallery in London and at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, which had been founded by Paul Mellon.

Organization: D. Dodge Thompson was the coordinator. Gaillard Ravenel and Mark Leithauser designed the exhibition, and Gordon Anson designed the lighting for the National Gallery.

Sponsor: The exhibition was supported by a grant from United Technologies Corporation and by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
