FRANKLIN, Mass. – Rare, market-fresh paintings and drawings from private collections in Europe and the Americas – to include decorative artworks in the styles of, and attributed to, master artists such as Warhol, Basquiat, Monet, Klein, de Kooning, Renoir, Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso and others – will be sold at the next In the Manner Of auction on Thursday, July 26. Absentee and Internet live bidding is available through LiveAuctioneers.

Other prime works include sketches and paintings attributed to Wifredo Lam, Gustav Klimt, Cy Twombly, Joan Miro, Arshile Gorky, Franz Marc, Antoni Tapies and many others. It will be just the third auction for the young firm that deals exclusively in antique and vintage artworks done in the styles of master artists (hence the name In the Manner Of).

The July 26 auction, officially titled Impressionist & Modern Paintings and Drawings, will start at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time.

The 205-lot auction is packed with decorative artworks in the styles of, and attributed to, master artists. A strong candidate for top lot of the sale is a signed tempera and gouache on paper done in the manner of Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890), titled Portrait of a Man Wearing a Hat (above), with a certificate of authenticity from van Hassel Galleri in Rotterdam (est. $20,000-$30,000).

Also expected to realize $20,000-$30,000 is an unframed, untitled oil on canvas painting done in the manner of Jean-Michel Basquiat (American, 1960-1988), signed and dated (1983) lower right. The canvas measures 36¼ inches by 29 inches and is typical of Basquiat’s raw, Neo-Expressionist style. Basquiat’s work had an “unstudied” appearance, but he produced stunning visual collages.
