Our upcoming March Fine Art Auction will feature a strong selection of American paintings, including works by Daniel Garber, John Folinsbee, George William Sotter, Walter E. Baum, and William Francis Taylor. These artists, closely associated with the New Hope School and Pennsylvania Impressionism, continue to draw serious collector interest and institutional attention.
