NOTE: We reserve the right to adjust auction information and dates. This auction presents an impressive collection of fine art spanning nearly two centuries, from the 1830s to contemporary works, featuring diverse styles, mediums, and artistic movements. The collection includes works by contemporary artist Lori-Ann Bellissimo (b. 1973), known for innovative mixed media pieces with collage and resin, such as "Cyan Morning" (2005). Mid-century modernism appears in Richard Rogers' (1903-1967) surreal figurative works and abstract compositions, complemented by Mary Bean Rogers' (1904-1997) modernist landscapes. 19th-century American art is represented by John Lee Fitch (1836-1895) with his atmospheric forest scenes and William Henry Chandler (1854-1928) with pastel Hudson River landscapes. European masters include Italian artist Cesare A. Ricciardi (1892-1973), Pieretto Bianco Bortoluzzi (1875-1937) with Venetian watercolors, and French artist Jean Claude Werdier (1922-2000) with autumn landscapes. The auction features notable printmakers: G.H. (Gatja) Rothe (1935-2007) with delicate mezzotint works, Shoichi Hasegawa with "Jardin Terrestre" etchings, and Irving Amen (1918-2011) with lithographs of urban scenes. Historic naturalist J. Gould (1804-1881) is represented by detailed blue bird prints. European modernists include Jean Calogero (1922-2001), Jean Lurcat (1892-1966), and Albert Lauzero (1909-2006) with his impressionist still life of roses. American watercolorist Mac Fisher (1923-1999) offers snowy winter scenes in "Winter Solitude," while Anita Gronendahl (1941-1994) presents local architecture in "Stover Mills, Pippersville." Portrait and figurative works include pieces by Wesley Lea (1914-1981), Hazel Massey (1907-1990), and reproductions after historic portraits by William Dickinson Washington and John Hoppner. Bruno Bruni's limited edition print "Amore" depicts embracing figures. Historical subjects appear in David Fertig's mixed media depiction of French warships burning in Toulon and Morton Kunstler's limited edition Civil War print. Urban scenes come from Caroline C. Burnett's (1877-1950) Parisian street views and David Azuz's European canal cityscapes. The collection encompasses diverse mediums including oils on canvas and board, watercolors, pastels, lithographs, etchings, serigraphs, mezzotints, engravings, and mixed media works. Stylistically rich, it spans traditional landscapes and portraiture to modernist compositions and abstract experimentations, offering collectors exceptional variety from American and European artistic traditions.
