Auction Details

African American Art

Our April 6 African American Art auction features an exciting range of scarce and significant art from the Harlem Renaissance to the contemporary. We are thrilled to offer an outstanding painting by the great Ernie Barnes ? his 1973 acrylic on canvas painting, Daddy, captures the essence of his expressive figuration of the early 1970s. Bidders will also have the opportunity to explore two excellent works by Winfred Rembert in his unique medium of painting on carved and tooled leather -?Doll?s Head Baseball?and?Jeff?s Pool Room, both depicting?scenes from his life growing up in the Jim Crow South.? The post-war period is headlined by a significant, six foot 1971 painting by Kenneth Victor Young featuring his quintessential colorful floating orbs, as well as early examples by Norman Lewis and Beauford Delaney from the 1950s.
