AVON, Conn. — Trinity International Auctions will conduct its fall auction of fine art and sculpture Saturday, Dec. 3, starting at noon Eastern time. Internet live bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com.
The auction will include 215 works from a broad range of artists with an emphasis on fresh to the market pieces. Among the featured artist are Romare Beardon, John Holyfield, Milton Avery, Marc Chagall, Robert Natkin, Rolph Scarlett, Helen Escobedo, Eugene Galien Laloue, Eric Sloane, Aaron Draper Shattuck, Martha Walter and Julian Alden Weir.
Trinity’s auctions typically include a fine representation of Russian and Polish artists, and this auction is no exception. A stellar entry is by Mikhail Larionov (Russian 1884-1964) and is titled Fish on a Silver Platter. This was a recurring theme for the renowned Russian painter. This picture was sold by Christie’s in May 1982 and was authenticated in 1963. It dates to sometime between 1903-1905. The painting is the property of a private collector who has owned it since 1982.
Polish artworks will be auctioned, as well, with works by Aleksander Kobzdej, Adam Marczynski and Jacek Sienicki.
Some American offerings of note include works by Eric Sloane, The Spring House; Aaron Draper Shattuck’s The Narrows in Simsbury; and Martha Walter’s Flowers in a White Vase. A spectacular work by Samuel Lancaster Gerry is titled Autumn in New England. The sale also features paintings by Julian Alden Weir and John Twachtman.
Previews will be conducted Thursday and Friday, Dec. 1 and 2, from noon to 5 p.m Eastern, and 9:30 to noon on auction day. Additional information on all lots can be obtained by contacting Trinity at 860-677-9996 or by emailing info@tiauctions.com.
