Three paintings by beloved artist and television personality Bob Ross sold for as much as thirteen times their high estimates at a Bonhams Skinner auction on Tuesday, netting $1.3 million for American Public Television (APT).
It fetched $787,900, more than thirteen times its high estimate.
Also successful on Tuesday were Ross’s Babbling Brook (1993), which sold for $279,900, more than six times its high estimate, and Valley View (1990), which went for $203,700, more than four times its high estimate.
“I’m deeply humbled by today’s extraordinary results,” said Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc., in press materials.
It’s exactly what Bob would have wanted—to continue inspiring and uplifting public television for generations to come.”
