Visions Unveiled: A Global Collection

VIEW CATALOGUE

A globe-trotting, century-spanning live auction where American modernism meets European classicism, and fine art mingles with furniture and decorative objects from across the ages. From richly layered canvases by Todd Boppel and works by William Sommer and Frederick Judd Waugh, to a Picasso lithograph, Old World portraiture, and a vibrant collection of works by James Massena March — this sale has something to surprise every collector. Decorative arts, lighting, glass, ceramics, and textiles round out an offering that's eclectic, substantial, and just unpredictable enough to be dangerous.
