Auction Highlights: Contemporary Art — November 26, 2024 At Auction Tuesday, November 26 at 12:00 PM ET Catalogue & Bidding Swann’s November auction of Contemporary Art features a wonderfully diverse group – from Pop Art icons to dynamic young artists like Alteronce Gumby and Ebony Patterson. Among our highlights is an early painting by Barkley Hendricks. His 1967 Pluck is a fascinating still life – this oil on canvas was exhibited during his last semester of study at PAFA in Philadelphia. Another highlight is a figurative charcoal of Robert Longo from his Men in Cities series. Longo’s Untitled (Eric), 1994is an impressive drawing, a large and dramatic example of his expressive figuration. The sale also features strong examples of painting by Richard Artschwager, Frank Bowling, Jane Dickson, Hughie Lee-Smith and Mildred Thompson. The auction also includes fine impressions of iconic Pop prints – including Roy Lichtenstein’s 1963 Crying Girl and Andy Warhol’s 1968 Black Bean from Campbell’s Soup I.
