Record &6 Million For U.S. Oil; Bingham Work on View at National Gallery
|
"The Jolly Flatboatmen," an idyllic Missouri River scene by
19th-century painter George Caleb Bingham now on view at the
National Gallery of Art, has been sold for $6 million, a record for
an American painting.
The 38 1/2-by-48 1/2-inch oil, an icon of American art, has been
on loan to the National Gallery since 1953. It was sold privately by
the owner, the Pell Family Trust, headed by Sen. Claiborne Pell
(D-R.I.), to Richard Manoogian, a Detroit art collector who also
recently acquired the Henredon and Drexel furniture manufacturing
companies for Masco Corp., of which he is chairman.
