The Fall Auction has highly sought after works including the David Hockney Pool, 1978-1980. This work was printed in different variations by the master printers Kenneth Tyler and Roger Campbell. The variation which we have in our opinion is the most finished color coordinated and rare.
Edition of 48: the estimate is $200,000-$250,000 with bidding starting at $100,000.
Highlights include a unique painting by Jules Pascin from 1924 which has previously sold at Christie’s for $90,000; a terrific robe by Jim Dine, as well as an etching of Jim Dine’s colorful heart artwork. Other iconic artists featured in the auction include: Chuck Close, Ed Ruscha, Raymond Pettibon, Robert Longo, Pablo Picasso, Brice Marden and a great assortment of graphics and original artwork by Carlos Almaraz; highlights of photography by Diane Arbus, Julian Wasser, and William Eggleston.
