3 Bob Ross paintings sell for over $600,000 to support public television
All proceeds will go to American Public Television to fund program distribution for local public TV stations nationwide, particularly in rural areas. Some of these programs include “America’s Test Kitchen,” “Julia Child’s French Chef Classics” and “This Old House.”
To a crowd of 356 bidders, all three pieces were auctioned off live by Bonhams Auction House in Los Angeles, per Bonhams. Next year, Bonhams will host three more auctions — in New York, Boston and London — to sell the remaining 27 paintings. The 30-piece auction is projected to raised between $850,000 to $1.4 million in funds.
