Andrew Ford, auctioneer of Sarasota Estate Auction, announced his Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 4 and 5, auction will feature some works from among the most popular 20th and 21st century artists, including Robert Rauschenberg, David Hockney, Dale Chihuly, Peter Max, Francoise Gilot and Eric Sloane. This two-day sale, online starting Oct. 20, will highlight work by David Hockney (b. July 9, 1937). An important contributor to the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. In 2018, Hockneys 1972 work Portrait of an Artist sold at Christies New York for $90 million, becoming the most expensive artwork by a living artist sold at auction. Ten pieces by Robert Rauchenberg (1925-2008), the American painter and graphic artist, will be offered. His works were early popular compositions which helped start the Pop Art movement. Dale Chihuly (b. 1941) will be represented with seven pieces of his work, including three of his paintings and four major art glass works. Francoise Gilot (1921-2023) was another highly sought after artist who was the muse to Pablo Picasso from 1943 to 53 and mother of two of his children. She learned her craft and continued long following their separation. A work will be offered from Eugenio Zampighi (1859-1944), an Italian painter and photographer who often painted in the style of earlier 19th-century artists. Eric Sloane will also be represented at this upcoming sale with a scenic painting of his beloved New England. In addition to the fine art painting and art glass, there will be over 250 lots of fine silver hollowware and flatware. One group in particular is a sterling coffee and tea service found in Peru. Just by weight, the set is very valuable, but it is also fine example of the silversmithing craft. Several collections of jewelry are also included in the sale. Contact Sarasota Estate Auction directly for in-house bidding or bid online with Liveauctioneers, Invaluable or Bidsquare. There will be a limited live audience. The gallery is open for previews, except Sundays, along with Sarasota Trading Company, located at 522 S. Pineapple, Sarasota, Fla.
