This 1969 painting “Portrait of Andrew Wyeth” , by his son Jamie Wyeth sold for $2.4 million at an auction that benefitted the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine. The auction was December 2010, so this isn’t late breaking news, but then again, I’m not CNN… 🙂
Interesting story, and I’m sure the Farnsworth Art Museum appreciates it! Now THAT’S a cool place!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
The Wyeth family artwork adds so much to the rich history of Maine’s art history. I grew up visiting the Farnsworth Art Museum and now, even thought I live nearly 4 hours away, I make it a point to get my students there for field trips. It’s a gem of a museum!
