Bob Ross Paintings to be Auctioned
Thirty original Bob Ross paintings will be sold at auction to help offset station licensing fees for American Public Television's Create multicast channel.
The auction, which will be held by Bonhams over the next three years, will feature paintings created by Ross on his series The Joy of Painting.
My head started ticking away, like, 'Well, this many paintings would equal this much, and this many paintings would equal this much,'
said Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc., who conceived the idea for the sale after two privately held Ross paintings were sold for around $100,000 each in August.
- Proceeds from the auction will help alleviate licensing fees for APT's Create channel.
- The sale will feature over 30 original Bob Ross paintings.
