Heritage Auctions has announced that longtime dealer, gallery owner and private collection curator Brian Roughton has joined the company as Director American and European Art. He has been an important fixture in the art business for more than four decades, and will bring that extensive experience, across all markets, to bear on his role at Heritage.
Everything from fine French and Italian art, Pop and Post-Modern art and Lalique glass to ebonized cabinets, gilt bronze clocks and an antique cash register will be up for bid on Tuesday, Feb. 7, in Heritage Auctions’ The Signature® Estate Auction, being held at the company’s Design District Annex, 1518 Slocum Street.
The year 2011 proved to be a great one for Heritage Auctions, as the company posted a gross total of more
than $806 million, a number that represents the company’s best performance ever.
Collectors were ready and willing to buy on Saturday, Nov. 19, during Heritage Auctions’ $1.84 million Lalique & Art Glass Signature® Auction, led by a superb Tiffany Studios Daffodil table lamp that brought $56,763. All prices include 19.5% Buyer’s Premium.
ABC has announced that it will air The Great Big American Auction, starring Ty Pennington of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, one of America’s leading reality TV personalities, and featuring exclusively Heritage Auctions’ experts, auction services and staff, in a very special television first made-for-TV auction event, at 10 p.m. (ET) on Thursday, Dec. 8.
Heritage Auctions will increase the buyer’s premium from 19.5% to 25% of the hammer price for the first $50,000. Affected categories include fine art, furniture and decorative arts, illustrations, jewelry, and others.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Le Bouquet, 1910, brought $657,250 as the top lot in Heritage Auctions’ American & European Signature® Art Auction, Nov. 8, at Heritage’s Design District Annex, 1518 Slocum Street.
Robert Mapplethorpe’s shimmering and subtle Shoe (Melody) estimated at $30,000+, is expected to be the top lot in Heritage Auctions’ Nov. 19 Vintage & Contemporary Photography Signature® Auction, taking place at the Ukranian Institute of America at The Fletcher-Sinclair Mansion, 2 East 79th Street (at 5th Ave.).
W.R. Leigh’s Home, Sweet Home soared to nearly double its pre-auction estimate selling for $1.195 million and setting a new world record price for the artist in Heritage Auctions’ $2.27 million Art of the American West Signature® Auction, Saturday, Nov. 5.
Gil Elvgren remains the unchallenged champion of American Pin-Up Art, as evidenced by the $191,200 price realized for his 1956 Fire Belle (Always Ready), one of the master’s greatest works, in Heritage Auctions’ Oct. 22 Illustration Art Signature® Auction, and by the fact that fully six of the Top 10 lots in the auction featured his revered name.
Two spectacular western paintings by W.R. Leigh, Home Sweet Home, 1932 and Renegade at Bay, 1941, are estimated to bring in a combined $700,000+ when they are offered as part of Heritage Auctions’ Nov. 5 Art of the American West Signature® Auction, at the company’s Design District Annex, 1518 Slocum Street. The paintings carry $400,000+ and $300,000+ estimates, respectively.
Dallas Auction Gallery will follow their $1.2 million dollar jewelry auction that was held on October 5 with an outstanding Fine and Decorative Art Auction on November 16.
