Auction: Impressionist & Modern Art / Post-War Art & Contemporary Art, Nov 20, 2024
NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle's auction of Impressionist & Modern Art on November 20, 2024 showcased fine European and American paintings, drawings and sculpture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The offerings spanned Academic and Barbizon art through Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to German Expressionism and early Modernism.
Highlighting the auction was a lovely painting by Vietnamese/French artist Le Pho that achieved $140,200, far over its $60,000-90,000 estimate. The work exemplifies his signature style defined by fluid brushwork and soft, harmonious color palettes.
The sale also saw strong results for works by Julius LeBlanc Stewart, Pablo Picasso, Jane Peterson, Norbertine Von Bresslern-Roth, Zao Wou Ki, Paul Signac, Maurice Utrillo, Camille Pissarro, Jean Dufy, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani and 19th century French drawings and watercolors from the Alan and Marion Oliner Collection.
The Alan and Marion Oliner Collection of Art
A special section of the sale was devoted to works from the Collection of Alan and Marion Oliner. Alan and Marion Oliner embarked on their collecting journey in the 1960s, and over the next three decades they assembled a meticulously curated collection of intimate drawings and watercolors by 19th and 20th century masters.
Represented are exceptional examples by prominent artists of each artistic movement, from the formidable Eugene Delacroix, Honore Daumier and Jean Francois Millet to the masters of the Barbizon School, Theodore Rousseau and Henri Joseph Harpignies. The works progress through Impressionism and Post-Impressionism with Camille Pissarro, Paul Gauguin and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and continue into the Nabis group with Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard and Paul Sérusier. The collection also features Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, Pointillist Paul Signac, and extends into the 20th century with Fauvists and Modernists, including André Derain, Albert Marquet, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani and Jacques Lipchitz. Each name is a significant and influential figure in the history of art (View Lots). Read More
