BUFORD, GA. — Just under 800 lots of “the best” in self-taught art, Outsider art, Southern folk pottery, antique and anonymous works, contemporary art and other new discoveries crossed the block in Slotin Folk Art’s two-day Self-Taught Art Masterpieces auction, spanning November 8-9. The sale was led by “Wizard #1,” an oil on canvas by Marian Spore Bush (1878-1946), which sold on day one. Despite some missing paint along the outer edges, the 20-by-24-inch work, which had provenance to the artist’s family, rose past its $6,000 high estimate more than five times to achieve $35,000 with premium. Additional highlights from both days of the sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
