The consigner was quickly directed to the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Pennsylvania, which showcases the work of several artists in the Wyeth family, as well as conservator Lauren Lewis. Lewis drove three hours to meet the painting’s owner in Portsmouth and view the work in person. Lewis’s level of excitement “was the first time the consignor realized it was actually legitimate and valuable,” according to Bonhams.Great story. It's everybody's dream, isn't it?
If you ever get a chance to go to the Brandywine River Museum of Art, take it. It is a magnificent museum and a gorgeous setting. My folks used to live not far from there and I've been many times.
