A Norman Rockwell painting, Saying Grace, has been sold for $46m in New York, a new record for a piece of American art sold at auction¹.

诺曼·洛克威尔的一副油画，《Saying Grace》在纽约的一场拍卖会上卖到4600万美元，创下了单件美国艺术品的拍卖价格之最。

A detail from the painting, which was on a 1951 cover of the Saturday Evening Post

Saying Grace shows a crowded restaurant with a grandmother and grandson bowed in prayer at a table they are sharing with two young men.

The painting's pre-sale estimate by Sotheby's was $15m to $20m. The buyer's identity was not disclosed.

Ten Rockwell works in total were sold at the auction.

The Gossips sold on Wednesday for just under $8.5m, while Walking to Church fetched more than $3.2m.

Many came from the family of Kenneth Stuart, the art editor at the Saturday Evening Post at the time when many of Rockwell's paintings were featured on the magazine's covers.

The paintings were part of a larger American art auction at Sotheby's that took in almost $84m in total proceeds.

The previous record for the sale of an American painting at auction was set in 1999, also at Sotheby's, when George Bellows²' Polo Crowd sold for $27.7m.
