“A year and a month have passed since our inaugural auction and in that time we have achieved our first world record price, met new clients and welcomed old friends,” said company president and CEO Andrew Jones. “Being entrusted with significant works and collections and achieving great results is what we do best.”
One of the most striking pieces in the auction is the Giacomo Balla edition Linee di forza del pugno di Boccioni II (above), circa 1968, from a private collection (est. $50,000-$70,000). The work is derived from maquettes and watercolors of the 1910s, produced as one of nine under the direction of L’Obelisco gallery in 1968. It is a three-dimensional manifestation of the dynamic symbol of the Italian Futurist movement.
Other highlights of modern and contemporary design include a selection from a private Century City and Palm Desert collection, such as the Hiroshi Yamano glass sculpture titled East to West Fish Catcher, No. 176, from 2002 (est. $2,500-$3,500) and a gorgeous Martin Blank Cranberry Lotus Flower from 2016 (est. $2,500-$3,500). Also from the collection is a whimsical Woods Davy stone and glass table (est. $2,500-$3,500). Modern silver from Allan Adler, Theo Fennell, Georg Jensen, Jean Puiforcat, Tapio Wirkkala and others will complement the modern design category.
