SOLLO-RAGO SPRING MODERN AUCTION
(Klaus Ihlenfeld (German/American, 20th Century) Nocturnal Plants, 2007; Phosphorous bronze.)
......
John Sollo and David Rago have once again joined forces to present this Spring's modern auction at Rago Auctions this weekend in Lambertville, NJ. The lots can be perused from the link, and here are a few fantasy picks of my own:
PAUL EVANS Pair of verdigris copper cube chairs, the cushions covered in blue leather patterned with futurist designs, ca. 1968.
PAUL EVANS "Wing" sculpture with verdigris patchwork copper over steel armature, ca. 1968. (One of only two ever produced, this sculpture was originally installed in Paul Evans' garden at his home on Aquatong Road in New Hope, PA.)
TOSHIKO TAKAEZU Glazed stoneware Moonpot, 1982.
TOMMI PARZINGER Pair of four-arm painted iron floor lamps with green linen drum shades.
MIGUEL SAGUARO Cast aluminum three-panel room screen.
Harry Bertoia (American, 1915-1978) Untitled, ca. 1940; Colored inks on rice paper.
They have also invited several designers and architects to take the items on sale and create showrooms. I walked through it last weekend; some rooms were lovely, and others challenged one's tastes, which is good fun for a pantywaist aesthete like myself. A slide show of the results can be seen here.
Have a favorite?
