New York Maritime Art Auction
Published November 19th, 2008
Christie’s New York has announced details of its December 3 auction of Maritime paintings. The sale boasts over 138 paintings and features exceptional works from 19th century American artists James Edward Buttersworth and Edward Moran, as well as a superb group of fourteen oils and watercolors by 20th century British artist Montague Dawson. Many of the paintings to be offered have never before appeared on the market.
The December 3 auction is the first since Christie’s created a paintings-only category for Maritime Art and incorporated it into the same week as its Sporting Art and American Paintings sales in New York.
A Maritime Objects Sale, including nautical antiques, scrimshaw, and ship models is being held on January 15, 2009.
