Tom Mosser

A Golden Retriever at the Museum is the original painting that launched Pittsburgh artist Tom Mosser’s beloved Museum Series. Featuring a golden retriever gazing up at a giant floating tennis ball, the image became one of the most shared artworks on the internet and continues to resonate with dog lovers around the world.

Mosser is also known for his original “Sports Ball Impressionism” paintings—dynamic works created using actual sports balls to form logos and imagery. By rolling, bouncing, and pressing footballs, basketballs, baseballs, and more into paint, he transforms the marks of the game itself into art.
