Contemporary, Fine, And Outsider Art Sell Harry Bertoias Spray Sculpture Sells For $6,875

By Karl Pass - July 11, 2025

Potter & Potter Auctions announced the results of its 652 lot sale held on June 6. All prices noted include the auction houses 20 percent buyers premium. The auction was a mix of modern contemporary art, fine art, folk art, and outsider art. The top lot was Hans Hofmanns (German/American, 1880-1966) Untitled from 1946, which delivered $12,500. This framed mixed media-on-wood panel work was signed and dated by the artist on the lower right. Andy Warhols (American, 1928-87) Untitled 12 from the For Meyer Shapiro Portfolio, realized $10,000. The unframed screenprint from 1974 was signed, dated, and numbered verso on its lower edge by Warhol. It was the artist proof number 5/7, with an image size of 19-by-16 inches. An IN50 Table for Herman Miller by Isamu Noguchi (American, 1904-88), was estimated at $2,000-$3,000 and served up $8,400. This example, originally designed in the 1940s, came with its original crate and packing materials, with the crate addressed to Charles Eames twice. The table had a black painted wood base and a clear glass top and may have never been actually removed from the crate, assembled, or used over time. Harry Bertoias (American, 1915-78) Spray Sculpture, estimated at $1,000-$2,000, sold for $6,875. This 1960s era, dynamic wire piece measured 33.5 inches high mounted on a square metal base. The sculpture was accompanied with a COA from the Val Bertoia Studio. We had a fantastic sale. Clearly the stars of the show were Charles and Ray Eames and their surrounding design related lots. Harry Bertoia, Alex Girard, and Herman Miller related material all did well. Andy Warhol, Margaret Keane, Natalia Goncharova and Tony Fitzpatrick were also stars in this auction with multiple pieces selling for all of them, according to Aron Packer of Potter & Potter Auctions.
