Barbara Riley was an important supporter of the Manchester and the Mountains community, She
supported the Arts, Education, Athletics and knew how to rally others behind her as she drummed up
support for the myriad initiatives she took on. She truly created the type of positive impact that has
been felt by the entire community and will be so for decades to come.
In addition to her philanthropy, she was a hugely acquisitive collector of artwork and beautiful
objects. Having homes in NYC, Key West, Santa Fe and Manchester, VT, she absorbed each local culture
through it’s art and decorative style. Her collections are of high quality and abundant as future auctions will demonstrate. This first auction of only 32 works of art center around her collection of oil paintings by Dorset, Vermont Artist Arthur Jones. Arthur Jones was her friend and she showed her
love. We have selected 21 of his best paintings for this auction from her collection and decided to do
it in Manchester as a tribute to their friendship and both of their passing’s this year. Other local artists from her collection with work in this auction are Luigi Lucioni, Brian Sweetland, Cleade Enders,
Dean Faucett, plus Jonathan Green, M. C. Poulsen. & William Skilling. Two great weathervanes from
her collection will also be sold.
