FREEMAN’S: PENNSYLVANIA IMPRESSIONISTS DESTINATION

As Philadelphia’s auction house, Freeman’s boasts ongoing strong successes in the sale of Pennsylvania Impressionists. Freeman’s sold more paintings by Edward Redfield in 2020 than any other auction house (indeed, Freeman’s has offered more works by the artist than any other house), and a December 2020 sale included the sale of seven paintings by Daniel Garber for a remarkable $1.55M total. Eight of the top ten results achieved for works by Fern Coppedge have been at Freeman’s auctions and Freeman’s continues to hold the world auction record for a Coppedge painting.

Freeman’s December 2021 auctions offer plentiful opportunities for collectors of Pennsylvania Impressionists; in addition to the works already listed, American Art Week will include fine examples by Arthur Meltzer, William Francis Taylor, and Walter Baum, among others.
