Love art AND dogs?
A Jamie Wyeth work depicting his yellow Labrador with a black circle around his eye has sold for $218,500 in New York City.
Christie’s said “Study of Kleberg” brought more than five times the $40,000 pre-sale estimate.
It was purchased Thursday by private art dealer Ann Richards Nitze on behalf of a Oprah client who was not identified.
Wyeth said he painted the circle around Kleberg’s eye in the 1980s after the pooch got too close to his easel. Wyeth’s a big fan of the old comedy Little Rascals, which featured a pit bull with the same marking.
Thought it’s pretty pricey this sell makes more sense than some of Bieber’s hair going for $40,000.
