NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle's June 5, 2024 auction in the popular Doyle+Design sale category saw competitive bidding drive strong prices for Modern and Contemporary furniture, art and design by prominent designers, artists and makers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
George Nakashima
Highlighting the furniture offerings were two iconic walnut and pandanus cloth cabinets by George Nakashima, both ordered directly from Nakashima Studios in 1956 by the family of the consignor. A three-door example achieved $44,800, far surpassing its $25,000-35,000 estimate, and a two-door version estimated at $20,000-30,000 realized $32,000. Nakashima's hand-crafted furniture reflects a fusion of Japanese and early American traditions -- timeless pieces characterized by simplicity and clean lines that celebrate the beauty of the wood.
Harry Bertoia
Art offerings featured a bronze and brass sculpture by Harry Bertoia estimated at $20,000-30,000 that sold for $35,200. The bush-form sculpture measuring 11 inches in diameter was acquired from Knoll in 1969. A graduate of the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bertoia found success as a furniture designer, allowing him to pursue his career as an artist. His skills in welding come to life in his bush form sculptures, where buds stretch outwards to create a harmony of space and form.
