A late spring auction just after Memorial Day offers an eclectic mix of fine and decorative arts with a focus on modern art and traditional European and American furniture. The Estate Treasures Auction, Part 1 and 2, is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, May 27th and 28th by Nye & Company Auctioneers, online-only, starting both days at 10 am Eastern time.

These works have not been restored and remain in the same state as the day they were removed from the subway walls. Three Henry Moore plaster maquettes, these sculptures were given directly from Moore to Martha Spencer, who worked at Perry Green, which was Moore’s atelier.

Also included is a pair of Knoll “Wassily” chairs that were originally designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925.bTraditional decorative art enthusiasts will be delighted with a superb group of pieces being offered by the estate of William Hodgins, the highly regarded Boston-based interior designer.
