`POKER PLAYING DOGS' LAND IN THE DOGHOUSE

`POKER PLAYING DOGS' LAND IN THE DOGHOUSE

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Wireless Flash) -- Artist C.M. Coolidge's famous painting of poker-playing pooches is in the doghouse as far as art lovers are concerned. Although the painting has ranked among the most popular prints purchased by Americans for years, it's losing ground according to a new survey by the poster retailer Barewalls.com. The poker-playing dogs have just been knocked off the list of Top Ten Most Popular Prints by dancing bears -- in particular, prints of "The Bear Dance" by artist William H. Beard. Just in case you're wondering, the No. 1 most popular art print is Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night."
