The Halvorson Collection: Art and Objects

On September 12th, Wright and LAMA proudly present Beauty & Imperfections | The Blaine Halvorson Collection: Art and Objects, a portrait of an artist, designer, and collector whose extraordinary vision defies categorization. From major works from contemporary artists including Jim Dine and Mark Ryden to taxidermy, macabre oddities, and historic antiques, this selection conjures a sense of otherworldly enchantment, relishing in handmade details, eerie embellishments, and the patina of passing time. Described as "a living art project" by The New York Times, Halvorson has long been lauded for his singular sensibilities in art, design, and fashion over a career of more than three decades?this extraordinary auction invites collectors to step inside Halvorson?s world, where beauty and imperfections meet in a spellbinding dance of history, imagination, and artistry.
