KNOXVILLE, TENN. — Two days and more than 1,300 lots made up Case Auctions’ 2026 Winter Fine Art & Antiques Auction, conducted between January 31-February 1. Day one of the sale recorded the highest price — $393,600 with premium — for “Schoolteacher Lifting her Skirt,” a carved limestone sculpture by William Edmondson (Tennessee, 1874-1951). The 15½-inch-high work depicted a woman with medium-length hair wearing a long dress, raising the hem of her dress to reveal a slip or undergarment underneath. Additional highlights from both days of the sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
