Fall 2019: Contemporary Art
Upcoming Highlights
At Auction November 21

Anchoring this auction is a special selection of works by women of the New York Abstract Expressionist school, notably Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell and Lee Krasner, in a timely celebration of the era and their overlooked contributions to the first specifically American movement to achieve international influence. Stellar works from this selection include Frankenthaler’s monumental color Mixografia Guadalupe, 1989, and several bright, bold color lithographs by Mitchell.
An exceptional offering of prints and originals includes a suite of four drawings by Sol LeWitt; Roy Lichtenstein’s 1967 color lithograph Explosion; large-scale prints by Alexander Calder; Jasper Johns’s Device, 1972; works by Andy Warhol; color aquatints by Robert Motherwell; and minimalist printed works by Donald Judd and Ellsworth Kelly.
Among contemporary European works are English Pop artist Richard Hamilton’s sleek Guggenheim Museum, a white acrylic multiple from 1970. On the cutting edge, there are a pair of six-foot-tall robotic sculptures by Enrique Castro-Cid, a pioneering Latin-American artist who rarely appears at auction, whose 1960s sculptures and assemblages explore the relationship between technology and art.
