Augusta. 'Augusta Reading to her Daughter' by Mary Cassatt was sold for {$2,800,000} at Sotheby's in NYC on 9 May 1989. A year before, at Christie's rooms in NYC, her painting 'The Conversation' fetched {$4,100,000.} Altogether six of the ten highest prices ever paid for paintings by women (as at late 2000) were for Mary Cassatt works.
