.-Slotin Folk Art Auction s Self-Taught Art Masterpiece Sale on Nov. 14 was one of the auction houses most successful in nearly three decades of conducting sales, with total revenues of $1.48 million.
That is especially remarkable given that Slotin, adjusting to doing business amid the COVID-19 virus, changed from its usual practice of auctioning roughly 1,000 lots in a two-day sale, with bidders overflowing the auction hall, to a 400-lot single-day online auction via Live Auctioneers.
