LUNENBURG, Mass. – An accomplished artist from the Worcester, Mass., area – Bernard Corey (1914-2000) – left behind a great find for his family: more than 750 paintings he created during his lifetime. Those artworks will be offered for sale by Lunenburg, Mass., auction house Royka’s on Sunday, March 29. Internet live bidding capability will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com.
Bernard Corey was a nationally recognized plein-air painter who worked in the Impressionist style. He left behind gorgeous oil paintings depicting rural New England scenes of barns, cows and farmland, especially around the Worcester County, Massachusetts area.
“It’s truly an amazing find, and the quality and quantity of his art is unprecedented,” said Paul Royka, owner of Royka’s Fine Art & Antiques.
Corey won many national awards during his lifetime and was a member of the Rockport Art Association and The Boston Guild of Artists.
Over the years, Corey’s works have brought thousands of dollars at auction. With starting bids as low as $200, Sunday’s auction provides a rare opportunity to acquire truly exceptional works of art.
“It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire paintings directly from an artist’s estate. You could build an entire museum in one day with these paintings,” said Royka.
The sale will be conducted at Woodman’s Essex Room in Essex, Mass.
