There is still time to catch the previews of Sotheby's New York auction of American Art before the lots go to bid on the Wednesday, May 22nd. Included in the sale are a variety of genres from the 19th and 20th centuries including Western Art, illustration, American Impressionism, and the Hudson River School. The centerpiece of the sale, however, is a Gilded Age piece from John Singer Sargent, called Marionettes (Behind the Curtain); it is expected to bring between $5 and $7 million when the bidding ends.
Sotheby's New York City auction house is located at 1334 York Avenue. Previews are, as always, free and open to the public. The online catalog can be viewed here.
