Panel Discussion: “The In and Outsiders” explores formally trained artist Thomas (Tom) Miller’s (1945-2000) brightly colored “Afro-Deco” painted furniture pieces and silkscreen prints, and self-taught artists Anderson (Andy) Pigatt’s (1928-2009) evocative sculptures and Elizabeth T. Scott’s (1916-2011) richly embellished quilts.

Talk also included a viewing of the BBC documentary The World’s Most Expensive Painting which addresses provenance.
The basic structure was a chart-style rundown of the 10 most expensive paintings ever sold at auction, with a top three consisting entirely of works by Picasso. The stories of the individual sales were fascinating enough in themselves – even if most of the buyers were unavailable for interview (not least because they don’t want us to know who they are). Taken as a whole, though, the program added up to a lot more than that.

Presentation: J. Larry Frazier addresses the rules that govern transferring art collections to family members and giving to museums and universities. Frazier is an Attorney for Wills, Estates & Probate Law.
