MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. – Pam Stone, owner of the Benefit Shop Foundation Inc., was about done cataloging her Red Carpet auction, slated for Wednesday, March 21, at 10 a.m., when a donation came in that was too good to hold for another month. It was a fine painting, an Italian School still life on canvas, circa 1800, depicting tulips, roses and chrysanthemums in a basket and had solid provenance. It was bought at Sotheby’s in December 1997 from the estate of the late conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein. The painting is expected to perform well in the March auction.
