Contemporary, Fine, Folk and Outsider Art
Our Contemporary, Fine, Folk, and Outsider Art sale features works from all time periods and categories. The sale opens with more than fifty design-driven lots tied to Charles and Ray Eames, including signed works and collaborations with Alexander Girard for Herman Miller. Worth mentioning are multiple Harry Bertoia monoprints discovered in proximity to the Eames materials. Contemporary highlights include works by Hans Hofmann, Woodrow Blagg, Hans Bellmer and Tony Fitzpatrick. In Fine Art we offer works by Samuel A. Kilborne, Louis Kronberg and Samuel Huyghe. In Folk Art we have exceptional early 20th century examples of a monumental battleship, an impressive hook and ladder fire engine, and a later Folk Art Circus complete with many rides, wagons, and concession stands. Rounding out the event with Outsider Art we present many stellar artists such as Elijah Pierce, Lee Godie, Mose Tolliver, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Minnie Adkins and William Dawson.
