HOWLAND The sale of the Norman Rockwell paintings in the Boy Scouts of America art collection could create “a feeding frenzy on a global scale,” according to one Cleveland auction house.
The BSA’s decision to include its art collection among the assets it will sell as part of a bankruptcy reorganization proposal also is increasing interest among the general public to see the collection while they can at the Medici Museum of Art.
Deba Gray, president of Gray’s Auctioneers in Cleveland, said the works would appeal to the private and corporate sectors as well as museums and dealers. Gray previously worked for Sotheby’s in Chicago before starting her own auction house with Serena Harrigan.
