Below, we spotlight six standout lots that represent the artistic breadth of this highly anticipated auction.

Maurice de Vlaminck - Maisons Derrières des Arbres, 1910 (Lot 120)
A powerful Fauvist landscape from the early 1910s, Maisons Derrières des Arbres showcases Vlaminck’s bold palette and expressive brushwork at their peak. With provenance tracing back to Galerie Kahnweiler and documentation from the Wildenstein Plattner Institute, this work carries both historical weight and scholarly validation. Formerly exhibited in Paris and accompanied by multiple certificates, it stands as a rare large-scale canvas from Vlaminck’s most coveted period.

Estimate: $100,000–$150,000

Salvador Dalí - Jeune femme en robe verte à demi-allongée de dos, circa 1925 (Lot 165)
Painted during Dalí’s early classical period, this elegant and intimate portrait reveals the technical mastery that preceded his Surrealist breakthrough. With provenance connected to the Harold Arlen family and supported by a photo-certificate from the Archives Descharnes, the work represents a fresh-to-market offering from one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Early Dalí paintings of this caliber remain scarce and highly sought after.

Estimate: $150,000–$250,000

Reuven Rubin - Portrait of Susy with Her Dog, 1928 (Lot 147)
Created during Rubin’s important New York years, this charming portrait captures a moment of domestic warmth and narrative intimacy. Held in the Collection of Susan Otto and Robert Israel and accompanied by a certificate from Carmela Rubin, this painting reflects Rubin’s lyrical approach to figuration. A documented and historically rich work from a foundational figure of Israeli modernism.

Estimate: $80,000–$120,000

Lynne Drexler - Forest Cathedral, 1980 (Lot 203)
A vibrant and immersive canvas from Drexler’s mature period, Forest Cathedral pulses with rhythmic brushwork and lush harmonies of color. The 30 × 50 inch composition exemplifies the energy and musicality Drexler infused into her abstraction. As demand for her work continues to climb, major paintings from this era present a compelling opportunity for collectors of postwar American art.

Estimate: $60,000–$90,000

Daniel Garber - Sunday at Stockton, 1931 (Lot 110)
A serene and luminous Pennsylvania Impressionist landscape, Sunday at Stockton embodies Garber’s refined sense of light and atmosphere. Exhibited at the Macbeth Gallery in 1931 and documented in both his Record Book and Catalogue Raisonné, the work carries impeccable scholarly support. Unlined and beautifully preserved, it is a quintessential piece from one of the most celebrated members of the New Hope School.

Estimate: $100,000–$150,000

Barry Flanagan - Virtue, 1993 (Lot 216)
Standing an impressive 60 inches tall, Virtue is a dynamic bronze from Flanagan’s iconic series of sculptural hares.
