NEW YORK CITY — Swann Galleries’ American art auction June 15 set a strong tone early on with lot 41, William Glackens’ “The Beach, Isle Adam,” a circa 1925–26 oil on canvas that attained $581,000, including the buyer’s premium. The signed 20-by-32 inch painting, was ex-collection Kraushaar Galleries, Inc., New York, and retained the original label. It sold just above its low estimate.

A complete report on the auction will appear in an upcoming edition.
