NEW YORK CITY — Doyle Auctions conducted two sales November 4-5, beginning with American Paintings, Silver, Furniture & Decorative Arts on day one, and closing with Resident Treasures: American Paintings from the Green-Wood Cemetery Collection on day two. While the first day presented a number of excellent objects and artworks, the most newsworthy result came on November 5. From Green-Wood, “Deep in the Woods” by Susie M. Barstow (American, 1836-1923) soared past its $800-$1,200 estimate to achieve $14,080, including buyer’s premium, setting a new world auction record for the artist, which was previously just $2,000. The oil on canvas was signed and measured 10¼ by 8 inches. Additional results from both auctions will be featured in an upcoming issue.
