Bringing together 350 lots of Alaskan art, Alaska Native carvings and artifacts, natural gold, fine jewelry, historical objects, and international antiques, this Premier offering rewards a closer look. Behind many of its most compelling pieces are personal histories: an early portrait of the hunter who helped shape Fred Machetanz?s experience of Alaska, a gold pocket watch passed down through the family of an SS Princess Sophia victim, and a collection of Dale DeArmond prints with direct ties to the personal collection of her longtime friend and fellow artist, Rie Mu?oz. The range is equally memorable. A substantial natural Alaskan gold nugget joins an elaborate Denise Wallace transformation mask, a complete suite of DeArmond?s Nondalton Legends, territorial-era paintings, remarkable Arctic carvings, and objects spanning centuries of northern life. Beyond Alaska, collectors will find Meiji Japanese metalwork and ceramics, Chinese export silver, European sculpture, Salvador Dal? engravings, and high-end tube audio equipment. This LIVE-ONLINE simulcast sale differs from our typical online auctions. Pre-bidding will remain available until the live sale begins. At the scheduled start time, we will go LIVE through a video and audio broadcast, offering lots individually and accepting competing bids in real time through our auction platform and participating third-party auction platforms. If you cannot join the live broadcast, PLEASE leave your maximum bids in advance so you do not miss the opportunity to compete for your favorites.
