NEW YORK, NY - Spring auction season is proving to be strong online, as bidders turn to Bidsquare for art and design finds. Modern design, 20th Century and fine art lead sale results in May and early June on Bidsquare. Highlights include a Lino Tagliapietra wall sculpture; a George Nakashima Pedestal Desk; a Sonia Delaunay on paper and more.

Lino Tagliapietra, Twenty-Piece Masai Wall Sculpture; Sold for $113,400 on Bidsquare in Hindman's Modern Design auction May 9, 2019

A standout piece by glass maestro Lino Tagliapietra was the highlight of Hindman's May Modern Design auction, realizing a final price of $113,400 from a Bidsquare bidder - two times the original estimate.

Hudson Berry, Specialist, Modern Design at Hindman, stated: “It’s no surprise the Lino Tagliapietra surpassed the presale estimate in the way it did. The work truly has a presence both in scale and color. The sculpture also displays some of the finest handwork which varies wildly from piece to piece, creating an almost musical theme and variation feel to the pieces. It’s also worth remembering Tagliapietra’s seminal role as an educator in the history of the American Studio Art Glass Movement as well as his contribution to the legacy of Modernist Italian Art Glass.”
