The sale’s design offerings feature a fine selection of vintage design classics from Knoll and Herman Miller, as well as a number of stylish works by Christian Liagre for Holly Hunt. With a selection of Arts and Crafts furniture from a Southern estate—as well as works by some of the leading names in 20th-century design, including Isamu Noguchi, Paul Evans, Toshiko Takaezu, Harry Bertoia, and Samuel Yellin—Art and Design has something for every design sensibility. Leading the fine art section of the sale are Yozo Hamaguchi’s Seventeen Cherries and Stanley Casselman’s Luminor Moment – 23, alongside paintings by Yvonne Canu and Judith Rothschild. Art and Design brings works by many of the 20th century’s most esteemed artists to market, from Cindy Sherman, Louise Nevelson, and Roy Lichtenstein to Andy Warhol, March Avery, Sol LeWitt, and Franz Kline—making the sale the ideal opportunity for buyers at all stages of collecting.
