SARGENT’S ESTATE
SOARS TOJl,ra, 000
Auction of Works Brings To
, tal Far Above Original
$125,000.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 28. —'When John
Singer Sargent, the noted American
painter, died last April and his will
was probated, his estate was estimated
to have a gross value of only £25.703,
or about $125.0d0. Through the sale
of his works just completed, the real
value of the estate has bounded close
to $1,000,000.
The disposal of the artist's paint
ings brought great crowds to the fa
mous auction rooms of Christie’s and
the total realized was £175,260, or,
roughly. $850,000. In all 237 pictures
were sold and 77 of them were for the
most part studies for bigger works
and copies of great paintings in his
beloved Italy, made for his own in
struction years ago or left lying care
lessly in his studios. Yet dealers
fought desperately for them, as if
they were original masterpieces.
Bidders in Duel.
There was an exciting duel over two
copies of “A Bedouin Chief.” Both
fell to the same bidder. The first
brought 3,400 guineas, about $17,000,
and the other 1,050 guineas, about
$5,250.
An American agent purchased Sar
gent’s copy of Velasquez’s "Head of
Prince Balthazar Carlos’’ for 6,000
guineas ($30,000) after keen competi
tion. Experts say that no copy ever
fetched anything approaching that
price before.
Several of Sargent’s early works of
student days, half a century ago. went
comparatively cheap, the lowest bring
ing 20 guineas.
Before the sale Sargent's water
color “Santa Maria Dela Salute Ven
ice” was presented by his sisters to
the Victoria Albert Museum in mem
ory of their brother as a gift to the
nation.
