: The top lot at Grogan & Company's auction this past Sunday,
December 4, was an Italian picture, "Motif Dalmate" (not
pictured) by Zoran Anton Music, recently deceased, that brought
$115,000 from an Internet bidder. Speaking after the sale,
auctioneer Michael B. Grogan said the oil on canvas came to him
after he sold Music's "Paesaggio Dalmata" in April.
While the Music was not a record, the $86,250 that Nancy Maybin
Ferguson's colorful "Friends Meet Friends," pictured above, was
not only a record but also a surprise as it drew triple that of
any prior price for her paintings. A complete report on Grogan's
sale will appear in a future edition.
