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.
