Burchard Galleries owner Jeff Burchard was confident well ahead of his August 24 sale that this would be a signature event. He was featuring over 45 works of art and personal artifacts of portrait and surrealist painter Raymond A. Whyte (American 1923-2002). While Whyte’s work is on display in many major collections, they are seldom offered for sale and this presented a rare opportunity for art collectors. In addition to the Whyte works over 450 lots of art, furniture, silver and jewelry were to cross the block.
