The sale primarily featured paintings and sculptures by twentieth-century American artists like Milton Avery and Andrew Wyeth. Thomas Hart Benton, the most-represented artist at the sale, claimed the top spot with his 1955 oil painting\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">White Horse<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

With an estimate of $1.5 million to $2.5 million, White Horse was eventually sold for $1.8 million (or $2.23 million w\/p), a testament to its rarity and value.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_53620\" style=\"width: 246px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-19-at-10.40.57-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53620\" class=\"wp-image-53620\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-19-at-10.40.57-AM-300x300.png\" alt=\"A still life painting of a blue morning glory flower against a pale, pink background.\" width=\"236\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-19-at-10.40.57-AM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-19-at-10.40.57-AM-1024x1019.png 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-19-at-10.40.57-AM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-19-at-10.40.57-AM-768x764.png 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-19-at-10.40.57-AM.png 1304w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-53620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Blue Morning Glory<\/em> by Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next up at Christie&#8217;s was the only Georgia O\u2019Keeffe work featured at the sale. <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Blue Morning Glory<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is a fine example of one of O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s floral works.

It\u2019s a small work, measuring only 7-by-7 inches, and is one of four blue morning glory paintings O\u2019Keeffe made between 1934 and 1936. But the painting\u2019s scandalous provenance may have been another draw for buyers.\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Blue Morning Glory<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0was previously owned by the Andrew Crispo Gallery, one of New York\u2019s top modern and contemporary art galleries in the 1970s.

By this point in his career, Parrish had made a name for himself as an illustrator and was turning to focus on serious landscape painting. This scene is set on the banks of the titular river in eastern Vermont, not terribly far from Parrish\u2019s home in Plainfield, New Hampshire. Alma Gilbert-Smith, one of the leading experts on Parrish, declared\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ottaquechee River<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> one of Parrish\u2019s thirteen greatest works.

The sale\u2019s first lot, starting with a bang, was Ida Ten Eyck O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/media.mutualart.com\/Images\/\/2024_03\/31\/20\/204850440\/ida-ten-eyck-o-keeffe-flowers--gardenias-S8Y50.Jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Flowers (Gardenias in a Pitcher)<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

During her lifetime, O\u2019Keeffe often exhibited her work under the name Ida Ten Eyck to stay out of her sister\u2019s shadow. She painted Flowers in 1932 on an 8-by-7-inch canvas. Ida O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s work has never sold for more than $15K at auction, but <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Flowers<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> absolutely shattered her record, with the hammer coming down at $240K ($302.4K w\/p) or over six-and-a-half times its $35K high estimate. Then, towards the end of the sale were two geometric abstract oil paintings by the Canadian-American artist Rolph Scarlett. <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/media.mutualart.com\/Images\/\/2024_03\/31\/20\/204716502\/rolph-scarlett-white-triangle-KTS5K.Jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">White Triangle<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/media.mutualart.com\/Images\/2024_03\/31\/20\/204718158\/rolph-scarlett-untitled-OL63S-570.Jpeg?w=960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Untitled<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> are relatively large works, with\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Untitled<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the smaller of the two, measuring about 43 by 43 inches.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Both appear to have been influenced by European abstract artists like Kandinsky.

Nineteen lots (18%) went unsold, including the 1945 Milton Avery painting\u00a0<\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/uploads2.wikiart.org\/images\/milton-avery\/female-painter-1945.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Female Painter<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which Christie\u2019s specialists picked as the sale\u2019s star.
