Bernard Greenhouse’s Five-Decade Partner Sold by Sealed Bid
‘Paganini, Countess of Stanlein’ 1707 Stradivari cello goes on the auction block
The longtime instrument of revered cellist Bernard Greenhouse, who died last May at age 85, was scheduled at press time to be sold January 16 through a private sale handled by Reuning & Son Violins in Boston. Purchased by the late Beaux Arts Trio cellist in 1957 for 90,000 DM, the current sale is by sealed bid and the final price is unlikely to be disclosed. However, Christopher Reuning expects the sale price will exceed the current record of $6 million for a cello.
