From Antiques and the Arts Weekly – DETROIT, MICH. — Leading DuMouchelles’ Premier Selections auction, conducted on July 19, was “View of the Upper Hudson River at Storm King,” an oil on canvas by James Fairman (American, 1826-1904). The 1885 painting, signed and dated lower right, depicted a rowboat on the shore in the foreground with towns and fishing vessels on the opposite shore. In the upper right, over the river valley, there were storm clouds rolling in. The painting was housed in a period giltwood and gesso frame, measuring 40 by 81 inches. With provenance to a prominent Grosse Point Park, Mich., American art collection, the painting sailed to a New England-based internet bidder for $25,800.
