Beverly Hills, CA - March 3, 2017 - Carlyle Galleries International, Inc. (www.carlyle-auctions.com) latest art auction achieved solid results across multiple categories, at it’s February 9 auction. 

A highlight of the auction was a mid-century, impressionist-style painting by Andre Vignoles which sold for $11,520 (including buyer premium), setting a new auction record for a landscape by the artist. “This painting was an exceptional quality landscape, by Vignoles - the best we have seen - in a large format, with a beautiful frame and Wally Findlay Galleries provenance, and there were multiple international bidders competing for it” commented, Carlyle CEO Jack Marks. The painting sold to a private collector on the East Coast. 

Other strong performers included a 1985 work on paper by Provincetown artist Selina Trieff (1934-2015), which sold for $4,225 (including premium) to a Boston area collector. Contemporary art, and multiples were popular with all bidders, with a large Frank Stella “Had Gadya (Then came a Dog and Bit the Cat)” print with hand-coloring, selling for $18,200. 

As in all auctions, there were plenty of bargains to be had. A watercolor portrait of a man, by Russian artist Vasily Petrovic Vereschagin (1835-1909) sold for just $2,600 with premium. The Russian art market is showing signs of recovery after prices have dropped over 50% in the past few years.
