[Sacked...]

After an exceptional sale in October and due to a steady influx of modern material, Los Angeles Modern Auctions (LAMA) announces Part Two of the 20th Anniversary Auction, which is scheduled for Sunday, December 16, 2012, 12 p.m. (PST).

This expertly curated auction of 436 lots features a rare Chess Table by Isamu Noguchi complete with sculpted aluminum tray and original finish; over ten works by Robert Rauschenberg, including Lattice (Hoarfrost), a unique textile collage from 1975; an Alexander Calder brooch and a Jean Arp brooch, each with outstanding provenance; in addition to a group of 15 American Arts & Crafts designs, a great majority of which were gifts from Max Palevsky, to be sold by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to benefit future acquisitions. The sale also features a comprehensive grouping of over 50 lots of Art Deco furniture, lighting, and decorative objects from c. 1920 – 1940.

Additional Fine Art highlights include a selection of Hard Edge School paintings, including four works by Karl Benjamin; as well as prints and multiples by Joan Miró, Tom Wesselmann, Richard Diebenkorn, and Andy Warhol, including the latter artist’s Vote McGovern, Truman Capote, Jane Fonda, and Mick Jagger. Design highlights include a rare Greta Grossman table, bookshelf, and floor lamp, a selection of 13 designs by Gustav Stickley, a George Nakashima coffee table, an R.M. Schindler chair from the Sachs apartment, a Boris Lacroix tea set, and a K.E.M. Weber chair from the Sommer commission, as well as a Jean Royère table for Gouffé.

Hi,



I hope that it is ok that I post this in this section. I know there is a specific auctions section, but I don't know how many people check it. I usually only check this section. I think this is actually my first thread here, so I hope that this is ok.



My good friend Andrew recently was hit with a terrible loss and massive unexpected medical bills. I am sure that many people here know what it is like to have something like this happen. He has had to put a good portion of his collection to auction, to help cover the unexpected costs. This auction will also help secure Thinkspace's future, during this current tough time for the art market, and will help make sure that Andrew can keep his home and is ok going forward.



It is an amazing collection and one of the best auctions I have ever seen for originals (I might be biased, but I think that statement is true). There are originals by Javier Calleja, Edgar Plans, Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, Mark Ryden, Shepard Fairey, Banksy, Roby, Ryol, Audrey Kawasaki, Pejac, Faile, Michael Reeder, James Jean, Hebru Brantley, Haroshi, Giorgiko, and so many more. Too many for me to list here. The starting bids are all very reasonable.



This auction ends will take place tomorrow morning at 10am PST in Los Angeles and online. That is 12 hours from now. If any of you see anything you like, please register to bid asap and bid on it. It goes to a very good cause.



Thanks for checking this out, I hope this is ok.

This auction takes place in 12 hours from now. It is a great collection and a good cause. Don't miss it.

[Acme Thunderer]

There are some really impressive works there. Worth mentioning these OGs from Banksy and Pejac, but that ROA is my favourite.

[the answer is 42]

Is anyone watching the auction?

[Wanchope]

Yes and some great results. Very impressed at the auction. They show all the photos unlike all the other auction houses, not stock photos. Decent info and provenance. Plus the auctioneer is good and giving plenty of time for each lot which some of the others in the UK race through and miss bids at the end ( just ignoring them). A few things to learn for our British auction houses !!

You are a disgrace

Acme Thunderer The fees and £450 postage to UK kills it though!! Plus the inevitable import tax on top…

[jackrabbit]

An amazing collection! Really sad that Andrew has to part with such a chunk of it following his recent hardship. Even sadder that he is forced to do so in the current market...

So many gems up for grabs here and don't forget that the auction is split over two days with another treasure chest of amazing pieces going on auction tomorrow.

no PC

[Dice]

$11000 is a bargain for a full set. If this had PC it would be about $400000!!!

I would have bought it if I had the readies, I have one already but missing some bits from the set.

Provenance was it was gifted to the current seller in 2005 from the person it was originally gifted to. Only the person gifted the work could apply for a coa. In years gone by that was the case.

The set is not eligible for PC

This was one of the better auctions I’ve seen in years.

Then it´s not a coa. Authenticity is about authorship. Either a work is by the artist or not. Nothing in between. PCO is a joke and they are ruining the legacy of Banksy.

[Smokeidaeye]

Does anyone have experience selling through LAMA? I was thinking of consigning a few pieces but have never worked with them before, either buying or selling.

Bought several times, they’re part of same group as Wright and Rago. As good as any second tier auction house Id say and you can probably negotiate more with them than the Sothebys/Christies
