Fine Jewelry Auction | November 2, 11 a.m.
The Fine Jewelry Auction offers 245 lots, including American and Continental silver. Collectors will find signed pieces by Tiffany & Co., a one-of-a-kind Raymond Yard house brooch, and exceptional diamonds. The sale also features a selection of fine watches by Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Jaeger LeCoultre, alongside other highly collectible timepieces.
Fine Art Auction | November 9, 11 a.m.
The Fine Art Auction presents 153 carefully curated works of 19th- and 20th-century American painting, sculpture, and works on paper, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire masterful examples from key periods in American and European art. The sale includes iconic figures of American modernism, Impressionism, and European Expressionism, alongside works that reveal the playful, inventive spirit of 20th-century art.
Leading the sale is Marsden Hartleys Still Life (Eggplants & Onions) (Lot 9), painted during his Aix-en-Provence period in the late 1920s. Supported by a group of American collectors, Hartley absorbed the lessons of Paul Cézanne, creating bold, sculptural still lifes that combine structure, color, and his own modernist sensibility. Another highlight is Ralph Cahoons Melusina School of Ballet (Lot 10), a whimsical and imaginative work reflecting the artists playful vision and distinctive folkloric style.
A rare group of three John La Farge South Seas watercolors (Lots 23, 24, 25) offers a vivid depiction of Polynesian life, created during his travels with historian Henry Adams and preserved in the same Boston family since acquisition.
Other highlights include Frank Weston Bensons portrait Dorothy Lincoln (Lot 31), an elegant Impressionist work demonstrating the sitters poise and luminous presence. A standout sculpture is Edgar Degass Femme assise dans un fauteuil, sessuyant la hanche gauche (Lot 35), modeled in wax in the 1880s and later cast in bronze. This
intimate work captures the artists fascination with natural human movement, emphasizing gesture, anatomy, and the expressive, active quality of the human form.
European modernism is represented by Gabriele Münters Landscape (Lot 36), painted in 1934, showcasing her bold outlines, flattened perspective, and vibrant palette developed during her Blaue Reiter years. Together, these works exemplify the diversity, innovation, and enduring appeal of the Fine Art Auction this November.
