Maxfield Parrish

Palace Hotel in San Francisco 
Sends Original Maxfield Parrish Painting to Auction




I've enjoyed becoming a bit more familiar with Parrish's work over the years. 
 
The House of Art, NY was one of the largest print makers for Parrish prints at the turn of the 20th century. Prints can easily fetch a few hundred dollars to thousands depending upon their size, condition, frame style, etc... That's just a bit less than the millions that this painting is expected to sell for. 
 
Coincidentally, I just listed on eBay this past weekend 3 vintage Parrish prints that we had in our art collection for the past decade or so. They just don't fit our decor any longer but I still had a difficult time deciding to finally sell them.
