-----This Norman Rockwell brought $4.2 Million. Sort of amazing for a picture with a limited audience.-----

Not if the limited audience is wealthy and has a collection including 52 other Scouting Rockwel's. The painting will certainly be displayed with the others in the gallery in the National Museum of Scouting in Irvine Texas

Is that who bought it?

When I said limited audience I was referring to the lack of sophistication of certain buyers right now in this crazy economy. They are buying names and not necessarily paying attention to the art itself.

Would I appreciate the painting? Absolutely! But I am an art dealer for forty years and have sold this type material over and over. Wish I had sold this one. It brought $15 million.
