Benton's KC Flood Painting for Sale
-
Description
-
Thomas Hart Benton's "Flood Disaster (Homecoming--Kaw Valley)" is set to be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York on May 19, 2011. The painting "was inspired by the devastating floods of the summer of 1951, which displaced a half million people in Missouri and Kansas and struck the Argentine and Armourdale area with particular savagery." "Flood Disaster" was once owned by Kansas City collectors Louis and Rheta Sosland of the Sosland Publishing family and is expected to sell for $1 million. Benton made prints of the painting and distributed one to every member of congress in 1951 in an effort to increase the amount of aid given to flood victims. Many of these prints were "tossed on congressional waste baskets but later retrieved and auctioned at Kansas City's hotel Phillips to benefit flood victims."
