ATLANTA – Two self-portraits – one by the Hudson River School artist Daniel Huntington (1816-1906), the other attributed to the French neoclassical painter Baron Antoine-Jean Gros (1771-1835) – will be offered at Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery on Friday, October 13 and Saturday, October 14. They carry estimates of $8,000-$12,000 and $15,000-$25,000, respectively. Day 1 and Day 2 catalogs are now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.
Huntington’s 2ft 6in by 2ft 1in half-length portrait depicting the artist holding a palette and confronting the viewer with his gaze is signed at the lower right and dated 1883. The addition of the word Seville suggests it was painted during one of the artist’s several trips to Europe. He rendered a number of self portraits at different stages of his career. Another dated 1891 is in the collection of National Academy of Design, where Huntington first exhibited in 1836.
Antoine-Jean Gros, who studied under Jacques-Louis David, would have been a young man working in Genoa when this much smaller 18 by 14in work was painted. It shows a young male artist in late 18th-century dress holding a palette and brushes as he sketches at an easel. It has a partial label on the verso for the Shepherd Gallery, New York and for an exhibition held in 1975 titled Ingres & Delacroix through Degas & Puvis de Chavannes: The Figure in French Art 1800-1870. Another label identifies the subject as Baron Antoine-Jean Gros.
The Ahlers & Ogletree sale numbers 901 lots across two themed days. The Friday, October 13 session is titled Modernism, Art Glass, Folk Art & Jewish Art and contains 428 lots. The Saturday, October 14 session is titled European, American & Asian Art & Antiques and has 473 lots. Bidding is available via LiveAuctioneers.
More than 30 pieces have been deaccessioned by the Morris Museum in Augusta, Georgia and will be sold to benefit the museum’s acquisitions fund. They include, estimated at $30,000-$50,000, a life-size bronze of dancing male and female nudes by David Wynne (1926-2014). The Dancers was conceived by the English sculptor in 1971 and cast in 1972 – this one numbered 3 from an edition of 6. Wynne was responsible for numerous public sculptures in both the U.K. and the U.S. and also played a role in Sixties pop culture. Having modeled the Maharishi Mahash Yogi in 1962 and the Beatles in 1964, he was instrumental in arranging their famous meeting in 1968.
An early printed work by David Hockney (b. 1937-), Three Kings and a Queen from 1961, is estimated at $10,000-12,000. Inspired by illustrations from a book on the history of card games, the 9in by 2ft 1in etching and aquatint was one of a series of works Hockney began in the autumn of 1960. The story goes that Alistair Grant, head of printmaking at the Royal College of Art, found an early impression in the drying racks of the print room and entered it, without informing Hockney, into The Graven Image, an exhibition promoting the revival of the etching held by Robert Erskine at St George’s Gallery, London. Hockney had been delighted to win a prize of £100, which funded his first trip to New York in the summer of 1961. He moved to California three years later and the rest is history.
It is thought that Three Kings and a Queen was later printed by Ron Fuller and Peter Matthews at the Royal College of Art in an edition of around 50. This copy, signed and dated to the lower right and titled and numbered to the left, is consigned from an Atlanta collection.
Among the most extraordinary objects in the sale is a monumental Murano glass chandelier produced by the Barovier & Toso workshop circa 1960. Made in two giant tiers with 16 lights each, it measures a mighty 10ft tall by 3ft across. At great expense, it was purpose-made for a theater in Italy. Estimated in the $5,000-$10,000 range, all you need is the space to hang it.
