Jeremy Winborg, The Family Business, WAC
This year, the Winborg family accomplished an impressive feat: three generations of the family were represented at The Russell in Great Falls, Montana. Larry C. Winborg and his son Jeremy Winborg each had pieces in the main event, and Jeremy’s daughter Swede Winborg, now 19, made her Western Art Week debut in the First Strike auction. “It’s quite an honor to have all three of us in The Russell—grandfather, son and granddaughter,” Larry says. “I don’t think it’s ever happened before.” Larry, who started it all, knew very early that he was going to work in the arts. “I decided in the first grade that I was going to be an artist,” he says. He had a long career as a gallery director in New York, but soon transitioned into working on illustrations of his own. He spent the 1970s through the 1990s traveling across the United States doing work for publications like Sports Illustrated, often with Jeremy by his side.
