NEW YORK (AP) — Mikhail Baryshnikov says a 19th century painting of St. Petersburg that he purchased decades ago will be auctioned to help benefit new works at his Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York City.
"View of St. Petersburg" by Petr Petrovich Vereshchagin will be sold at Sotheby's on April 12. It's expected to fetch $300,000 to $500,000.
The famous ballet dancer recently donated the painting to his center's foundation to raise money for new programming.
Baryshnikov serves as BAC artistic director. He founded it in 2005 as a "creative laboratory" and performance space for multidisciplinary artists from around the world.
It has four studios, a studio theater and a 232-seat theater. It offers performances in chamber music, dance, theater and visual arts, plus film screenings.
