| Ariana Hartsock, Specialist in Charge of the Sale, says: “Our strong results today indicate a continuing robustness in the American Paintings market. Estimates set at very reasonable levels encouraged highly competitive bidding on all our top ten lots today - and we were particularly pleased with our front cover lot, Karl Buehr’s On the Terrace, which realized an excellent $409,000. We now look forward to our Spring 2008 Important American Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture auction, taking place on May 21.” | |
