CLEARWATER, FLA.- Blackwell Auctions will present more than 400 lots on March 21, 2026, including over one hundred works of fine art, in a sale featuring original paintings, sculpture and signed multiples by a range of listed artists.

A leading highlight is Lot 15, a pencil-signed Pablo Picasso etching, "Old Man in a Tonkin Hat Thinking of Love" ("Vieil homme au chapeau tonkinois, songeant aux amours"), 1968. The print comes from the signed edition of 50 impressions (plus proofs), published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris in 1969. Reference: Bloch 1512; Baer 1528. Opening bid is $3,000.

Another featured work is Lot 100, an oil on canvas autumn landscape by Charles Wysocki depicting a Vermont scene. The painting opens at $5,000.

Also included is Lot 75, a large bronze sculpture of a flutist by Richard MacDonald measuring 51 inches high. The sculpture opens at $5,000.



One of the most unusual pieces in the sale is Lot 47, a six-foot three-inch bronze sculpture titled "Golden Trump." The work, created by artists Tommy Zegan and Jose Mauricio Mendoza, depicts the American president wearing flip-flops and holding a magic wand. It is one of five bronze versions of the fiberglass original that was displayed at CPAC and later sold on eBay for more than $50,000. The sculpture was widely covered in international media, including CNN. Opening bid is $3,000.

Additional artwork includes paintings by Leonardo Nierman, Peter Max, Joseph Sheppard, Harold Kraus and Emerik Fejes, along with collectible prints by artists such as Rembrandt, Gene Davis and Nierman. Sculptural works include a bronze of a nude female figure by Armando Amaya.

Beyond fine art, the auction also features a wide range of collectible material, including a large selection of PCGS and NGC graded U.S. gold coins, fine jewelry by Tiffany, Roberto Coin and other designers, sterling silver pieces including Georg Jensen hollowware and a number of flatware services, and a signed first edition of "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell.
