On June 19, 2020, in Dallas, Texas, at Heritage Auction’s Modern & Contemporary Art event, a George Rodrigue Blue Dog painting broke records for the auction house and worldwide for a painting of its size. \u00a0According to ArtDaily<\/a>:<\/p>\n

One of the sale\u2019s biggest surprises occurred early on, when it came time for George Rodrigue\u2019s beloved dog Tiffany to go hunting for a new owner. After a vigorous round of bidding, involving clients both online and on the phone, Rodrigue\u2019s 14-by-11-inch Blue Dog, painted in 1996, sold for $112,500 \u2013 more than nine times its pre-auction estimate and a world record for a Blue Dog of that size. It was also the highest price Heritage has ever realized for a work by the late Louisiana artist featuring his blue spaniel\/terrier with the white nose and yellow eyes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
