Judging of this year’s competition produced a different view of the work than popular
response. First prize winner in the painting category was a beautiful oil by the Montreal
artist Alyson Champ, a popular regular contributor to the HTA show. Awarded the Best in
Show painting, it brought $900 at auction. In Sculpture and Other Media, a large and
impressive bronze by sculptress Catherine Wagner of a trotter in full flight was judged Best
in Show, and it sold for $2,700.
