NY.- Christie’s announced the upcoming sale of twenty original paintings by the celebrated naturalist, artist, and educator Roger Tory Peterson (1908-1996). Peterson’s best-selling field guides, beginning with his seminal 1934 book A Field Guide to the Birds of North America, have been a must-read for generations of ornithologists and bird-watchers alike. This selection of original paintings and works on paper, consigned directly from Peterson’s art studio, represents the largest selection of works by the late artist ever to be offered to the public.
