Freeman’s August 23 Art and Design auction

 Freeman’s August 23 Art and Design auction offers collectors a dynamic selection of modern and contemporary furniture, painting, prints, sculpture, and design objects.

“We’re delighted to bring such a distinguished selection of work to market,” says Lauren Colavita, Head of Sale for Art offerings. “With sculpture and ceramics by Betty Woodman and Dale Chihuly to paintings and prints 

by Diane Burko 

and Alexander Calder, there’s something for everyone across many collecting categories.”

The sale’s leading lots include an early and important sculptural bull by Peter Voulkos; 

a large Persian basket rendered in hand-blown class by Dale Chihuly; 


and Day Barrette, an abstract canvas by the multidisciplinary artist and musician Don Van Vliet.


PRINTS AND MULTIPLES FROM THE 20TH CENTURY’S FINEST

Art and Design continues its track record of bringing distinguished prints and multiples to market in Freeman’s upcoming sale. The auction presents a selection of more than a dozen prints and multiples from such 20th-century greats as Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Nan Goldin, and Henri Matisse.

Among the sale’s print selection is 



Frank Stella’s Steller’s Albatross from the artist’s 1970s Exotic Bird series. Made concurrently with sculptures that explored the same subject matter, the works mark a critical turning ​​​​​​​in the celebrated artist’s career.
