April 21st, 2021 Chic & Antique Auction
Nye & Company Auctioneers? two-day, online Chic and Antique Estate Treasures auction, April 21st and 22nd, features a large selection of modern furniture, rugs and lighting from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Long Island, while simultaneously bringing a strong selection of noted, blue chip artists? names to market. Nye & Company will offer Part II of the refined collection from the estates of Cornelia and Simon Michael Bessie of Lyme, Conn. The auction features works by artists such as Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Claude Joseph Vernet, Jacques Philippe De Loutherbourg, Jean-Louise-Andre-Theodore Gericault and Dominico Valeriani. Further headlining the auction are works from the Steve and Stephanie Alpert collection. Steve Alpert has unbridled enthusiasm for all types of fine and decorative art.
From the Alpert holdings, one will find numerous examples of Leonard Baskin?s lithographic portraits of Native American Indian Chiefs. The Jack Beal pastel titled Chincoteague Refuge captures the ambiance of the beach, while Frank Stella?s abstract circular wool wall tapestry, titled Sinjerli Variations II, and a similarly abstract burst of color and geometry in Victor Vasarely?s aluminum Kroa sculpture, are just two examples of visual excitement up for bid. A French collector consigned a fine ink drawing by Georges Braque of Diana the Huntress and Kees Van Dongen?s watercolor of a man, while a New York/Italian family is selling a wonderful collection of prints and multiples. Highlights include a Henry Moore lithograph from the Mother and Child series; a Jasper Johns lithograph of a face (Black State) from casts from untitled and a Mixografia on handmade paper by Helen Frankenthaler. Also in the prints and multiples category is a superb pochoir in colors by Joan Miro titled Femme et Chien devant la Lune, 1936. This work was a gift from Henri Matisse?s daughter-in-law to the United States Senator from Rhode Island, Claiborne Pell, and his wife Nuala.
