Andrew Ford of Sarasota Estate Auction has again pulled in some important art consignments for the companys two-day sale, Saturday and Sunday, July 23 and 24. Headlining this 1,800-lot auction will be works by 20th-century American artists Albert York, Romare Howard Bearden and John Chamberlain. More than 30 pieces of art glass from several artists including Dale Chihuly, Stephen Powell and Martin Blank will be sold from the Ringling collection to benefit scholarships at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Fla. Albert York (1928-2009), a favorite artist of Jackie Kennedy, Lauren Bacall and other celebrities, completed Trees and Fence, originally titled Imaginary Playground, a charming oil-on-panel, only 9-by-11 inches, which has just been released from a private collection in New England. For the rare occasion of one of his works coming to the open market, this fine example will be offered publicly for the first time since he executed the work ca. 1980. York was not a prolific painter, completing only about 200-250 pieces in his lifetime. Romare Howard Bearden (1911-88) was a modernist African American figure and landscape collagist whose Quilting is a mixed media watercolor image of two African Americans quilting. Purchased directly from the artist in 1981, the work includes documentation. John Anguis Chamberlain (1927- 2011) was known for his crushed automobile sculptures and collages, with his work displayed in many important institutions worldwide. This auction includes a work dated to 1984 made from salvaged car parts, mounted on paper. Day one will include Modern Design and a single-owner unreserved jewelry collection featuring more than 100 pieces. Prospective bidders should contact Sarasota Estate Auction directly for in-house bidding or bid online with Liveauctioneers, Invaluable, Bidsquare or Auction Mobility online.
