A top price for William Gay Yorke - as previously expected

The work The American yacht Atalanta probably passing Fort Adams, Newport by William Gay Yorke was sold in the Maritime Art auction at Christies in New York in January 2007. It changed hands for a price of USD 28,800.00 (€ 22,157.25) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00.
