Press Release / 08.09.2024

The online auction will be short and sweet, including just over 50 lots of selectively chosen American regional landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits, offered at once-in-a-lifetime prices.  The main focus of this sale is American Impressionism, with a special highlight on the Pennsylvania Impressionists. A small selection of wonderful European gems is being offered as well. 

Included in the upcoming sale are American and European paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries. Some of the traditional highlights represented are works by Pennsylvania Impressionists Martha Walter, John Pierce Barnes, Daniel Garber’s student and contemporary, Albert Van Nesse Greene, and Bucks County’s only native New Hope School painter, Walter Baum, as well as works by Philadelphia Ten member Nancy Maybin Ferguson.
