ATLANTA, GA. — Headlining Ahlers & Ogletree’s two-session Fall Fine Estates & Collections auction October 28-29 were more than 70 works from the estate of Marjorie and Ralph Knowles; the highest selling work lot from the Knowles’ estate also capped the 937-lot sale. Earning $102,850, well ahead of its $30/60,000 estimate and selling to a Southern buyer bidding on the phone was Janet Fish’s (American, b 1938) “Provence,” an oil on canvas still life of a picnic with vessels, fruit, wine and flowers on a blanket on the grass. Signed and dated 1995, the Knowleses had acquired the work from the DC Moore Gallery in Atlanta in 2014; its invoice accompanied the lot. Watch for a more extensive auction review in a future issue.
