RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

Like everyone else, we adapted in 2020 hosting more online auctions than ever and producing one catalog for a Fall sale that was filled with exceptional works. Led by the Jeanne and Carroll Berry Collection of Abstract Expressionist art, our sale totaled over $3.3 Million in sales with over 80% of the lots sold.

Our Spring 2021 auction results were fueled by classic late 19th and early 20th century American paintings. Our reported totals were $2.5 Million in sales and a 90% sell-through rate. We set new records for still-life and female artists!

In our online auctions this past year, we attracted an international audience achieving strong results for Indonesian and Polish art. With the launch of our new web design, online business is stronger than ever.

Our Fall 2020 sale featured strong results for blue-chip artists including Adolph Gottlieb, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Thomas Hart Benton and more!

In April 2021 American Art drove the results. Pictured here, a rare masterpiece by Charles Morgan McIlhenney. Prices for 19th century still-lifes by Paul Lacroix and Severin Roesen proved that the market is still thriving for quality works.

Two new world records were set for American botanical artist Fidelia Bridges. Top lots in the sale included works by female artists Abastenia St. Leger Eberle, Janet Scudder and Helen Turner.

Contemporary Art has continued to preform well in our online auctions like this oil painting by New York artist Emily Mason just sold in our Summer Online Auction.
