ROCKVILLE, MD. — A featured lot in Weschler’s Auctioneers & Appraisers’ Capital Collections auction on March 27 was a Forrest Clemenger Bess (1911-1977) oil painting titled “Idyllic,” which sold for $44,100, including buyer’s premium. There was significant interest before the sale and, even though the artist is American (Texas), the signed and dated (1967) painting went to a bidder overseas. A complete report on the auction will appear in a forthcoming issue.
