MONROVIA, Calif. — John Moran Auctioneers takes an unusual turn with a keen selection of works from contemporary street artists, mixed with classics from the likes of Jean Dufy, Alice Baber, and Doyle Lane. The Art + Design event is slated for Tuesday, February 27 and is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

A graffiti / street art sketchbook compiled in 1995-1996 by Jared (Geso) Costa (b. 1977-) is the sale’s interesting selection for the top-estimated lot. Created from three taped-together sketchbooks, the collection features hundreds of miniature ‘tags’ (spray-painted graffiti) and other designs from some of the biggest names to emerge in street art from the 1980s, 1990s, and beyond. Contributors include Shepard Fairey, KAWS, Barry (Twist) McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, Ruby Rose Neri, Jared (Geso) Costa, Mr. Element, Spie One, and Grey. The sketchbook is estimated at $30,000-$50,000.

Street artist Alec Andon (b. 1986-) is better known as Alec Monopoly, who interprets the vintage Parker Brothers Monopoly game Milburn ‘Rich Uncle’ Pennybags character in his compositions. This mixed-media on acrylic A portrait of Mr. Monopoly measures 48 by 36in and is in generally good condition. It carries an estimate of $10,000-$15,000.

Jean Dufy (1888-1964) lovingly painted the Parisian sights around him, in stark contrast to the Fauvist designs of his brother Raoul. The sale includes three works by Jean, with Street view with Sacre Coeur in the distance as the lot with the leading estimate. An undated watercolor and gouache on paper, it measures 20 by 25.25in and is estimated at $10,000-$15,000.

Two works by ceramacist Doyle Lane (1923-2002) are included. First up is a classic weed pot from the 1962-1976 period in which Lane created them. Diminutive and sporting a thick speckled blue glaze, it has an estimate of $4,000-$6,000. The second and perhaps even more interesting selection is a grouping of 157 ceramic tiles gathered from Lane’s studio after his death, and then mounted to a plywood backing. Widely exhibited, it is estimated at $15,000-$25,000.

Also on offer is Buried Treasure of the Jaguar, a 1978 watercolor on thick wove paper by abstract expressionist Alice Baber (1928-1982). It is estimated at $4,000-$6,000.
