What's Neue, Pussycat? auction

Neue Auctions / August 22, 2020

A screen-print in colors by Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997), titled The Oval Office, a politically-themed work that is especially meaningful in today’s trying times, is an expected star lot in Neue Auctions’ online sale of modern art and design slated for Saturday, August 22nd. Previews will be held in the Beachwood, Ohio gallery (outside of Cleveland). The auction, nicknamed What’s Neue, Pussycat?, has a start time of 11 am Eastern. Previews will be held at 23533 Mercantile Road in Beachwood. “The sale features all things modern,” said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions. “That includes fine art, design, furniture, prints, modern paintings and more. Most, if not all, of the lots are fresh to the market, pulled from area estates.” Maciejewski said the modern furnishings category is especially strong, with offerings by some of the biggest names in mid-century modern design, like Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Alberto Rosselli, Isamu Noguchi, Hugh Acton, Paul McCobb and Alvar Aalto. “This auction is a must if you’re riding or feel like finally hopping on the mid-century bandwagon,” she remarked. Internet bidding will be provided by the popular online bidding platforms LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Bidsquare.com. Telephone and absentee bids will also be accepted. Daily gallery previews will be held Monday through Friday, August 17th-21st, from 9-5 Eastern time.
