Our summer art auction includes exceptional objects in all categories. Outsider Art: Howard Finster, Purvis Young, Mary T. Smith and Mr. Imagination, et al. In Folk Art, quilts, whirligigs, wood carvings of narrative scenes, figures and animals fill out the category. In Contemporary Art we’ll offer prints by Roger Brown, Leroy Neiman, Art Shay and Tony Fitzpatrick along with original works by Macena Barton and multiple works by Medard Klein from the Estate of Joe Silverberg, Founder and CEO of the Chicago clothier Bigsby & Kruthers. The Fine Art session includes a classic French work by Arthur Fillon, Le Quai de Louvre, a very large Aubusson “Cartoon” depicting the central image of the Cluny Tapestries, and an intimate ink on paper by Rockwell Kent.
