Everard Auctions and Appraisals is pleased to present their online auction of “Fine Art and Antiques from Southern Estates and Various Owners.” The online sale will take place February 18 through March 3 on iGavelAuctions.com.
This auction features a stellar group of contemporary prints by such artists as Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Motherwell, Bridget Riley and Helen Frankenthaler. One of the standouts of this group is Warhol’s iconic image of Marilyn Monroe in a dramatic color wave of green, red and yellow, purchased in 1968 from the revered Miami art dealer Dorothy Berenson Blau.
Says Amanda Everard: “We are pleased to offer this outstanding selection of contemporary and modern prints and paintings by these prominent American and British artists at very accessible estimates.”
Other highlights include two paintings by the Polish-born, Ohio-based artist Julian Stanczak. Stanczak, a student of Joseph Albers, held his first show in 1964 and was influential during the early Op Art movement. These two works are from his window series, created in the late 1970s-early’80s, and were purchased directly from the artist in the ’80s.
