Art Auction News

Cassius Marcellus Coolidge (1844 1934).

Who is this you ask? This is the man responsible for one of the most ubiquitous works in all of art - yes, that's right, he is the guy who did 1903's Dogs Playing Poker.

And there was a little auction of two of his Dogs Playing Poker paintings, Waterloo: Two and A Bold Bluff. The estimate for his paintings was $50 -70,000. Not bad, right?

The realized figure for the painting was $590,400.

All in, baby.
