NEW YORK – In their first auction of the new year, Capo Auction Fine Art and Antiques in New York will spotlight a superb assortment of decorative items, fine and contemporary art and select furniture at their upcoming auction on Saturday, Jan. 27. Absentee and Internet bidding is available through LiveAuctioneers.

Highlighting the modern art category is a James Kennedy (Irish, b. 1962) oil painting on incised Masonite titled Family Grouping (above). Kennedy’s works are primarily semi-abstractions that explore spatial interactions and are composed in neutral tones. He creates the white framing structures used to house his works. This 30-by-24-inch work done in 2010 has a $4,000-$6,000 estimate.

Two lots sure to get attention are a J. Czapka & Sohn grand piano, circa 1880, that has a walnut case (est. $2,000-$3,000) and a rare 18th-century Chippendale mahogany side chair (below).
