Hartley piece expected to fetch $7M

Not that we needed affirmation from an outside source, but it's nonetheless interesting to note how revered Maine native Marsden Hartley remains.

Bloomberg.com is reporting that Hartley's painting "The Lighthouse" is expected to be auctioned in May for $7 million.

According to Bloomberg reporter Stephen West, "The Lighthouse" was seized by the Soviets at the end of World War II.

He painted "The Lighthouse" in 1915 in Berlin.

Christie's International in New York will sell the painting May 21.

The Maine Arts Blog serves as a gathering place for what we hope will be hearty and respectful exchanges about the arts in Maine, and we're interested in blogging about all the arts — the visual arts and performing arts equally.
