Six paintings by the famous Wyeth family of artists have sold for just over USD 2 million at a New York City auction.
New Jersey businessman Eric Sambol sold the works by Andrew, Jamie and NC Wyeth yesterday at Christie's.
They included three by Andrew, two by Jamie and one by NC.
The highlight of the sale was NC Wyeth's "Norry Seavey Hauling Lobster Traps Off Blubber Island".
The 1938 oil of a fisherman off the coast of Port Clyde, Maine, sold for nearly USD 844,000.
The Wyeths summered in Maine and lived and worked in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.
Sambol began his collection in 2000. He is a nature photographer and owns a construction company in Toms River, New Jersey.
