A Beautifully Haunting Wyeth at Auction


Speaking of the Wyeths, this 1971 Andrew Wyeth painting, "The Intruder," will be available at auction Thursday at Christie's New York.

As you saw this summer in Jamie Wyeth's "Dog Days of Summer" exhibition at the Brandywine River Museum, the artistic Chadds Ford clan does love all animals, especially dogs.

"The Intruder," signed by Wyeth in the upper right, is tempera on panel. His last painting sold at Christie's - "Ericksons" - went for $10.34 million in May. So sadly, the only way for most of us to get this beautifully haunting painting - love the use of light and dark - is to find a print for sale. Good luck.
