I think the SIXPENCE piece is in the dining room of Mel Gibsons Greenwich house.
It came with the house when he bought it...interesting that he is selling the picture.]]>Mar 26th 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/03/26/major-maxfield-parrish-works-up-for-auction/http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/26/major-maxfield-parrish-works-up-for-auction/http://www.luxist.com/gallery/mel-gibsons-old-mill-farm/1022465/ right?]]>Mar 26th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/03/26/major-maxfield-parrish-works-up-for-auction/http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/26/major-maxfield-parrish-works-up-for-auction/Yes. That's the one...I didn't know how to make the link.
You can barely see it, but along the top of that painting is written "SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE"...(I have seen it in person). Unless there are multiple copies or a continuation of the mural, I guess this is the one going to auction.
It sits beautifully in that dining room and I am sorry to see him selling it. Maybe the divorce costs more than he expected.]]>Mar 26th 2010 3:52PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/03/26/major-maxfield-parrish-works-up-for-auction/http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/26/major-maxfield-parrish-works-up-for-auction/http://www.luxist.com/gallery/mel-gibsons-lavender-hill-farm/2775683/]]>Mar 26th 2010 5:15PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/03/26/major-maxfield-parrish-works-up-for-auction/http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/26/major-maxfield-parrish-works-up-for-auction/
I can't tell either. I am not sure that I would put a real one in a bathroom. It might be a bit damp in there.]]>Mar 26th 2010 7:54PM
