Swann Galleries sale of 19th and 20th Century Prints and Drawings on March 5 saw success, according to Todd Weyman, director of prints and drawings, with more internet bidding, particularly via the Swann App, than any previous sale in the 19th and 20th Century Prints and Drawings category at Swann. There was action from across the United States, Europe and Asia, and nearly 20 percent of buyers were new to Swann. The most robust sections of the auction were the American prints and modern European prints and drawings, added Weyman. The American offering included Martin Lewis 1933 drypoint Circus Night, garnering a record for the image at $22,500. Further drypoints by Lewis included Rainy Day, Queens, 1931 ($23,700), and Rain on Murray Hill, 1928 ($16,250). Additional American highlights featured Gustave Baumann with a 1917 color woodcut, Provincetown, and John Steuart Currys 1932 lithograph, The Tornado, which each earned $13,750 (both records for the prints), and Stuart Daviss 1931 lithograph, Two Figures and El, which brought $23,750. Twentieth-century European stalwarts delivered strong results, with Pablo Picasso leading the sale with Nature Morte la Pastque, a colorful 1962 still-life linoleum cut of a slice of watermelon and purple flowers, which sold for $39,000. Der Spaziergang I, a 1922 etching by Marc Chagall, brought a record for the image at $17,500. Surrealists proved popular among collectors, with Ren Magrittes 1966 etching Paysage de Baucis (Self Portrait with a Hat) bringing $35,000, and Salvador Dals 1935 etching Crnes mous et harpe crnienne selling for $20,000.

Theil, two portfolios with complete text and 22 drawings, which sold for $13,750.
