LOS ANGELES — Furniture by Mario Bellini and weed pots by Doyle Lane are highlights of the Spring 2024 Modern Art & Design sale being held Saturday, March 30 by Billings. The catalog is now available for review and bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Born in 1935, Mario Bellini is a titan of Italian architecture and industrial design. He has served as a designer for numerous consumer goods companies, including Olivetti, Renault, and Yamaha. The sale boasts three of his furniture designs, including a circa-1970 Camaleonda four-piece sectional sofa. Said to be in excellent restored condition, the C&B Italia set is estimated at $10,000-$15,000.

Four examples of the famous weed pot by Doyle Lane (1923-2002) are also included, all estimated at $5,000-$7,000. This example is in glazed earthenware and is incised LANE on its base.

Beverly Pepper (1922-2020) was an American expatriate who lived in Italy starting in the 1950s. She specialized in monumental sculptures, and was never identified as belonging to any particular movement. This 76in untitled sculpture is made of cast aluminum and marble, and its base is impressed with the initials BP. It carries an estimate of $20,000-$30,000.

Attributed to Argentine-Italian artist Lucio Fontana (1899-1968), this untitled ceramic sculpture is marked L Fontana 53 and comes with a period photo of the work. It is estimated at $7,000-$9,000.

For a half century, Los Angeles-based designer Evelyn Ackerman (1924-2012) — together with her husband Jerome — were central figures in the California mid-century modernism movement. In The Garden, a mosaic panel measuring 12.75in high by 36.5in in length, was produced by ERA Industries as model no. 206 in 1958. It is estimated at $5,000-$7,000.
