I've belatedly learned that one of my paintings was in an auction of American art at Sotheby's in New York in October 2018. The work sold at the top end of its estimate. It was originally sold c.1989 at Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland OR, to Patrick Duffy, the actor best known for his role as Bobby Ewing in the series 'Dallas'. It was listed in Sotheby's catalogue as "from the collection of Patrick and Carlyn Duffy." Patrick's wife, Carlyn Rosser passed away in 2017.
The sale included 137 lots, with works by John Singer Sargent, George Luks, John Sloan, Childe Hassam, Raphael Soyer, George Bellows, Stuart Davis, Edward Potthast, Fern Isabel Coppedge, Gifford Beal, Thomas Moran, etc. The work was mostly late 19th century, early 20th century, with just a few artists that were born after WWII.
