LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. – Capo Auction Fine Art and Antiques’ first summer auction in New York on Saturday, June 28th featured exquisite bronze figures, along with a contemporary sculpture and a traditional Steinway. LiveAuctioneers provided Internet live-bidding services for the sale.

Along with that, a Romain de Tirtoff (Erté, Russian/French, 1892-1990) bronze figure La Femme a la Panthere (L from the alphabet series) was dated 1980.
