Colleagues,
I am in search of an auction sales catalog dated December, 1939, from
the Coleman Auction Galleries. At the suggestion of a colleague, I
searched the NYT (PROQUEST) and found mention of this sale in an article
dated December 10, 1939. From that article, I've deduced that the sale
may have taken place the following Saturday, Dec. 16, 1939. The NYT
item reads:
"On Saturday afternoon the Coleman Auction Galleries, Inc., will offer a
collection of paintings among which are a number of American portraits
and scenes. The catalogue lists a portrait of Gen. Philip Van Cortlandt
by Charles Wilson Peale, a portrait of Timothy Pickering by Rembrandt
Peale, a portrait of Gen. Robert Swartout by Samuel F. B. Morse, a scene
on Lake Champlain by A. H. Wyant, scenes at Mt. Vernon by Eastman
Johnson, a New York scene by Ernest Lawson, American genre subjects and
paintings by European artists."
It is not listed in SCIPIO, FirstSearch, or the union catalogs for
MOMA, Brooklyn Museum, and The Frick.
If you have it or have suggestions for locating it, please email me
off-list.
Thanks, all!
Joan
