Auction Highlights

Edward Hopper’s enigmatic figures and exceptional ability to contrast light and shadow are evident in the present collection of seven etchings created between 1915 and 1923. From intimate scenes off the coast of Maine to sweeping views of Paris and its environs, these rare prints offer a survey of a crucial decade in Hopper’s career that came to shape his artistic vocabulary and vision.

Edward Hopper’s Etchings

Vibrant Screenprints by Andy Warhol

David Hockney’s beloved dachshunds, Stanley and Boodgie, take center stage in the complete set of 15 etchings which comprise&nbsp;Dog Wall.

David Hockney’s Dog Wall

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s lithographs have become synonymous with the vibrance and decadence that defined late 19th century Paris. Capturing the spirit of the era with abstracted designs and patterns of flat color, the prints in the sale range from the artist’s iconic posters featuring dancers, actors, and local celebrities to his dynamic depiction of racehorses in Le Jockey.

Prints of La Belle Époque

From Barnett Newman’s iconic “zip” compositions to Josef Albers’ vivid concentric squares and Sol Lewitt’s mesmerizing use of line, the following works exemplify the core tenets of Minimalism, incorporating mathematical frameworks, hard-edge geometries, and flat planes of color which highlight the purity of abstraction.
