Clarke Auction Finalizes its Eighth Fine Art Catalogue, Sunday, September 12,
2010-09-06
LARCHMONT, NY, September 06, 2010 (Press-News.org) It's Sunday, September 12, 2:00 pm, Day One, and the doors finally open. Clarke Auction, after twelve successful years in an obscure leased location, begins a new era at its Boston Post Road building with its Eighth Fine Art Auction, featuring fresh-to-market and exceptional 19th and 20th Century paintings and sculpture.

Clarke's latest Fine Art Auction will again offer estate-consigned, unusual, and exceptional works from artists such as Andy Warhol; a collection of African-American works from Romare Bearden, Bob Thompson, and others; Orientalist works including an oil by Edwin Lord Weeks, oils by Anton Huang and other Balinese artists, Latin American Art, Portuguese paintings and sculpture purchased directly from the artists, and a Greek collection as well as WPA-era American paintings, and the occasional mystery.,

Recent additions to the catalogue include a previously unidentified watercolor, now identified by Clarke as a Raoul Dufy; a mixed media by the Italian Futurist Gino Severini; a large 17th Century Old Master Oil on Copper of the "Slaughter of the Innocents"; a c.1900 California landscape with Spanish riders by William Barr; and a large Mark Francis oil. Francis is often associated with the "Young British Artists" or YBA circle which also includes Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, and he was featured in the Saatchi Gallery's notorious "Sensation" exhibition in the late 1990's.

African-American Art
African-American art, a Clarke specialty, will feature iconic works such as Bob Thompson's 1960 "Come Into My Cave", and a c.1964 photostatic collage by Romare Bearden, possibly exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery; as well as superb works from artists whose work Clarke brings to auction for the first time. Examples include a large construction by Arizona's Francis Sprout and a 1968 oil by Al Bright. The Sprout was exhibited at New York's Neuberger Museum of Art. Other African-American Fine Art to be auctioned on September 12th includes watercolors by Nat Hayman and four pieces by Walter III Cade.

Clarke Auction is also featuring a collection of Portuguese art acquired directly from the artists, including a 1947 Julio Resende watercolor; a gouache and a large commissioned tapestry from Guilherme Camarinha, a large acrylic by Carlos Calvet, and a marble sculpture by Vasco Da Conceicao.

Latin American highlights are sculptures from Oscar Zamarippa and Jesus Tellosa, oils by Victor Rodriguez, Leonardo Nierman and Angel Botello, gouaches by Guillermo Robles, prints including Orozco and Zuniga as well as a 1947 Mixed Media piece by Alice Rahon. Of special interest is an oversized 1957 biographical and self-portrait print by the Puerto Rican Lorenzo Homar, "considered by many to be Puerto Rico's greatest graphic artist." Clarke believes that this historic work is the first by Homar to ever appear at auction.

Classic American Art features works by Allen Tucker, Carroll Cloar, Western works from Seymour Thomas, W.A. Carson, William Barr and Henry William Cannon; Benjamin Eggleston, Paul De Longpre, James Henry Beard, Harriet Bowdoin, rare oils by Carl Schmitt, multiple works by G. Glenn Newell and Gerrit Hondius; Ernest Fiene, Philip Evergood, Jacob Getlar Smith, Louis Ribak and others still being being catalogued.

European art includes 19th Century works from Arnaldo Ferragutti, Sebastiano De Albertis, Eugene Verboechoven, Richard Wilson, John Syer Jr, Henrick Maes, Karl August Bielchowski, Ludwig Munthe, coaching oils from George Wright; works from Marcel Dyf, Rudof Negely, Celeste Polychroniadi, Leonard Creo, Michel Rodde, Nathalia Goncharova, Louis Valtot, and Joseph Floch.

Warholia includes works by Andy Warhol including a signed Geronimo color screenprint, napkins with signed Warhol drawings from a dinner with Halston and Victor Hugo, with accompanying Foundation documentation; and a large older painting of Marilyn in multiples, lightly inscribed verso, currently attributed to the "Circle of Warhol."

Modern American Art also features paintings and sculpture by Ellsworth Kelly, Margaret Israel, George Marinko, Jan Matulka, Ann McCoy, Mary Frank, Dmitri Hadzi, Max Weber, and Mel Fowler.

The Ann McCoy diptych titled "The Vessel of Bobby Sands" is a monumental bravura tribute to the iconic Irish Hunger Striker and was purchased from the Brooke Alexander Gallery. McCoy's works are in multiple museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum, and the San Francisco Museum of Fine Art.

Founder and owner Ronan Clarke notes that "we will sell three hundred lots Sunday afternoon, and our track record
and this great catalogue suggest that we will again quietly break world records. Clarke also points out "But this auction is exceptionally deep in quality listed art - and a great opportunity for saavy retail buyers or first time bidders to acquire fine art."
