Hassam Is Top Lot At Shannon Auction

GREENWICH, CONN.
: "It was a bang-up auction," stated Gene Shannon in regard to his Thursday', April 28, sale of fine art.

"There was enthusiastic bidding across the boards," according to the auctioneer, resulting in more than 15 record prices paid at auction and a high sales total of over $3.8 million.

The lot garnering the most attention was a Childe Hassam oil on canvas measuring 481/4 by 601/4 inches that was titled "Nudes at the Cove." The painting, executed in the summer of 1902 when Hassam traveled to Portland Ore., sold to a private couple in the room and was underbid by a private buyer from Florida on the telephone. The lot sold for $320,000.

A monumental Hayley Lever harbor scene sold to a buyer in the room for $140,000 and a Fitz Hugh Lane oil realized $125,000.

A complete review will appear in a future issue.
