NEW YORK, NY.- The 19 May auction of American Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture at Sotheby’s New York will be led by important works from the Collection of Edward P. Evans. A well-known member of the equine community, Mr. Evans’s collection features a range of 19th- and 20th-century paintings, with a particular emphasis on American Impressionism and the Ashcan School, and is highlighted by paintings from artists including Childe Hassam, George Bellows, William Glackens and William Merritt Chase as well as sculpture by Frederic Remington and Herbert Haseltine. Works from the Collection will be on exhibition along with the full sale at Sotheby’s York Avenue galleries beginning 14 May.
