LONDON – A Flemish painting depicting the much-loved scene of Orpheus charming the animals is among the highlights of Chiswick Auctions’ Old Masters sale on Wednesday, April 12. The oil on panel attributed to Gillis Coignet (Flemish, circa 1542-1599) comes from a London private collection with an earlier provenance to the dealership Dickinson Fine Art. The work is estimated at £4,000-£6,000 ($4,900-$7,400).
NEW YORK – The world has expanded to embrace many more varieties of art media, but oils and watercolors retain their allure. Though the two time-tested art formats might not be as dominant as they once were, contemporary artists still routinely mix their palettes, prepare their canvases, and pick up their brushes to create scenes and images in the same way that artists did decades and centuries before.
On Wednesday, September 15, starting at 6 pm Eastern time, Jasper52 will stage an auction of Original Oil & Watercolor Paintings, consisting of 108 lots. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
