Highlights of this auction include an important group of 19th-century Alaska Native masks, led by a circa 1875 polychrome Yup'ik animal spirit mask comparable to an example in the Sheldon Jackson Museum, paintings by three members of the celebrated "Alaska Four," including works by Sydney Laurence, Eustace Ziegler, and Jules Dahlager, and a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air restomod showing approximately 7,000 miles.
Collectors will find significant graded comic books including X-Men #1, Giant-Size X-Men #1, Amazing Spider-Man #50, Marvel Spotlight #5, Daredevil #1, and Silver Surfer #4, as well as objects from the collection of pioneering Smithsonian anthropologist Dr. Henry Bascom Collins, Jr. Also featured are important Northwest Coast works from the Bruce Beasley Foundation, including masks by John Livingston and Stan Hunt III, a 19th-century Haida canoe model, and other notable carvings.
Further highlights include an original Bob Ross-painted gold pan, a large narwhal tusk, polar bear, brown bear, black bear, and bull moose taxidermy, fine jewelry, and a major James Kivetoruk Moses painting. A substantial collection of Alaska Native basketry ranges from entry-level examples to museum-quality works, while ethnographic offerings include an important pre-contact anthropomorphic stone effigy, Nome Gold Rush-era scrimshaw cribbage boards attributed to Happy Jack, and an exceptional monumental Billy "Billiken" Komonaseak scrimshaw walrus tusk cribbage board.
Additional offerings include paintings by Ernest Robertson, Byron Birdsall, Norman Lowell, George Ahgupuk, and others, Alaska Native artifacts and tools, gold coins, natural history specimens including mammoth tusk and megalodon teeth, and a 140-piece Wallace Grand Baroque sterling silver flatware service.
