The spring auction offered a number of exceptional examples of historic American artwork, with Andrew Newell Wyeth's 1986 watercolor Tivo Masters taking the honor of the top lot at $95,250.
"The nostalgia-suffused work was quite emblematic of Wyeth's still lifes and everyday subjects, and we delighted to have the opportunity to market it," says Pauline Archambault, Freeman's Hindman fine art specialist and head of sale.
Next in line was Alfred Thompson Bricher's Autumn Idyll, which more than doubled its $40,000 high estimate when it sold for $82,550. The third highest selling lot was Bahamian View, a tropical oceanfront scene with swaying palm trees by Albert Bierstadt, selling just above its $50,000 high estimate at $50,800.
