Mid-Century Modern and Design

This auction offers an impressive array of mid-century modern furniture, fine art, and decorative objects, featuring iconic designs and notable artists from the 20th century. The furniture selection is particularly strong, showcasing pieces from renowned designers and manufacturers. Highlights include a Charles and Ray Eames lounge chair and ottoman for Herman Miller, featuring rosewood shells and black leather upholstery. Danish modern enthusiasts will appreciate offerings like an Arne Vodder for Sibast dining set, including a teak expanding table and chairs, as well as a matching sideboard. Other Scandinavian pieces include, Borge Mogensen for Soborg Mobler Desk and Chair, a Westnofa teak wall unit and items by Torben Strandgaard and Hans Olsen. American mid-century designs are well-represented, with pieces from Broyhill's Emphasis line, John Van Koer for Drexel Profile, and a unique Phillip Lloyd Powell walnut modular bench with a slate tabletop. Space Age aesthetics make an appearance with Frank Ligtelijn's Globe 2000 floor lamps for Raak, featuring adjustable smoked glass shades. The fine art selection is equally impressive, with works by notable 20th-century artists. Paintings by Charles Levier, including modernist landscapes and portraits, are on offer. A gouache by Hungarian artist Bela Kadar presents a surrealist "Woman with Cat" composition. Other artists represented include Robert Philipp, Donald Roy Purdy, and Edna Wright Andrade, whose op-art "Geometric 3 - Red Circle" oil painting is particularly noteworthy. Prints and lithographs from major artists add depth to the collection, with works by Alexander Calder, Salvador Dali, and various op-art practitioners like Karl Gerstner and Norman Ives. A selection of outsider and studio art complements these more established names. Decorative arts and accessories round out the offerings, including unique pieces like a Georgine Aasen for Casella Lighting snake lamp.
