Proceeds from 15 sales of more than 2,300 art and objects will benefit California charities supported by the philanthropists
The 15 sales Christie’s conducted on behalf of the Ann and Gordon Getty Collection over the past year appeared to prove that enthusiasm endures for fine and decorative arts from the 18th century onward.
Proceeds from all the sales will benefit a range of California-based arts and science charities supported by the Gettys. Two live sales and one online sale of objects from Wheatland ended this past Friday and realized a total of nearly US$9.9 million. In a news release, Gordon Getty, a classical music composer and son of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, said his wife “was a passionate collector, and her legacy and artistic patronage will live on through these objects.”
Another highlight was Maurice Brazil Prendergast’s Snowy Day, Boston, circa 1907-10, which sold on Thursday for US$252,000, above a US$70,000 low estimate, to the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.
