The Old Masters and 19th Century Art Auction is about to go into previews at Christie's Auction House in New York. As always, this is a great opportunity to see period art which may not be available for public view for years to come. For example, the painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, above, entitled Reverie (Waterfall Nymph) 1874, is currently in the collection of the Canton Museum of Art, Ohio, but is being de-acquisitioned to raise funds to purchase other works of art for the museum. It could very well enter into private hands, and not be seen by most art lovers for decades.
The hours of the preview are listed below. The actual auction will take place 10:00 AM June 4th.
- May 30 1:00 - 5:00 PM
- May 31 1:00 - 5:00 PM
- June 1 10:00 - 5:00 PM
- June 2 10:00 - 5:00 PM
- June 3 10:00 - 5:00 PM
