Sold from the Collection of William J. and Jean Hogan of Bronxville, New York. The Hogan Collection was assembled predominantly during the 1950s through the 1970s and offers works by a number of prominent American and European artists.

Mr. Hogan was a vice president at American Airlines, and acquired several of the works in the Hogan Collection directly from the corporate collection of American Airlines.
