NEW YORK, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Works by Edward Hopper and Norman Rockwell brought record amounts for the artists at a crowded Sotheby's auction in New York.
Hopper's "Hotel Window," a 1955 exploration of isolation in 20th century urban life, sold for nearly $26.9 million, practically doubling the pre-sale estimate.
Rockwell's "Breaking Home Ties," one of the artist's
most recognizable images catching the drama of the post-depression generation gap, commanded $15.4 million more than twice the estimate.
