GLEN COVE, N.Y. – Roland NY Auctions saw strong results for its June-July Estates Sale, held on June 30 and July 1. Absentee and Internet live bidding was facilitated through LiveAuctioneers.
The June-July sale offered another glimpse into the archives of the legendary Phyllis Lucas Gallery, in particular its treasure trove of Salvador Dali prints, lithographs and etchings. The renowned gallery had exclusive North American representation of all original Salvador Dali prints, starting back in 1965. The Roland sale presented and sold more than 60 Dali pieces, all in the $300-$2,000 range.
This particular auction featured a generous amount of fine and contemporary art, with bidding for many lots rocketing past the estimates. A signed Walter Gay painting of an interior scene with grand design and decorations achieved $15,000, while a signed Hsiung Ping-Ming sculpture of a figure in metal earned $10,625.
A 1971 Walasse Ting oil on canvas, titled Beautiful Day, a splat-style abstract depicting flowers, went for $9,375. Another beauty, a Francois Henri Morisset titled Reclining Nude, a circa-1900 oil on panel Impressionist portrait of a lady, brought $4,000.
Highlights from the Salvador Dali collection included Triumph of the Sea, a 1965 lithograph in colors on wove paper, pencil signed and numbered 112/150, with a Sidney Lucas NY ink stamp at the lower left, which attained $1,875; while Jonah and the Whale, a 1975 etching with pochoir in colors on Arches paper, numbered 369/400, sold for $812.
Jewelry standouts included an antique Russian diamond, emerald and aquamarine pin in the shape of a fly, offered with its box, which fluttered away with $5,312, and a triple-strand South Sea pearl necklace with an 18K gold clasp, which rose to $1,875.
