Who got the paintings?

Post by mhspiper »

Is it known who purchased the paintings at the auction? I sincerely hope that they were acquired by an art museum. Anybody know?

I attended the auction in Cambridge. There were 5 paintings auctioned, and I believe that they all were purchased by different individuals, although some of the attendees bid on more than one. I really wanted that floral still life he painted at Camberwell for Rosemary, but I couldn't touch it at 9,500 pounds (the equivalent in US dollars around $22,000), though it is worth every penny.
