LOS ANGELES — On July 11, John Moran Auctioneers presented its ReDesigned sale, featuring more than 400 lots that reflected a variety of styles, periods, designers and marquee names of the 20th and 21st centuries. Works by legends such as Andy Warhol, Peter Max, Richard Wyatt Jr., Itzchak Tarkay, Shane Guffogg, LeRoy Neiman, Victor Vasarely, Corita Kent, Keith Haring, Harold von Schmidt and Larry Poons represented the art. For sculpture, there was a large collection of Romain de Tirtoff (aka Erte) bronzes and fine examples by Prince Paul Troubetzkoy. Furniture highlights ranged from Art Deco and mid-20th-century to contemporary, coming from designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Chiavari, Hudson-Rissman, Baker Furniture and Michael Aram. Absentee and Internet live bidding was facilitated through LiveAuctioneers.
One of the standouts in the category of fine art was a stunning 1921 bronze sculpture after Prince Paul Troubetzkoy, Danseuse Jambe Droite Levee (Lady Constance Stewart Richardson), which had been estimated at $10,000-$15,000. Troubetzkoy was a well-known artist and sculptor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his works continue to be highly sought-after. The bronze surpassed its estimate to bring an impressive $18,750.
Also on offer was a 1999 work by the abstract artist Shane Guffogg titled A Second From Now. Guffogg (b. 1962-) is a California artist who works in the media of painting, drawing and sculpture. This bold work more than doubled its $600-$800 estimate to sell for $2,000.
The furniture category had some great results, including a pair of mid-century Hollywood Regency gilt bronze and glass nesting tables estimated at $400-$600. The tables, designed with a cast gilt bronze trompe l’oeil rope and tassel frame, went for $2,000. Keeping up with the mid-century aesthetic, a pair of 1960s Chinoiserie slipper chairs in the style of Michael Taylor for Baker Furniture achieved $2,000 against an estimate of $800-$1,200.
Mid-century Modern collectors also fought for a 1961 Leica M3 single-stroke 35mm Rangefinder camera. Estimated at $800-$1,200, this lot presented the camera and a 50mm Summicron lens in the original box with paperwork and earned $2,813.
Other noteworthy items included a 2005 Peter Max work, Roseville Profile, which attained $1,750, and two Pakistani Monumental terracotta storage jars, offered as subsequent lots and each estimated at $500-$900, which sold for a combined total of $3,375.
