Wolfs Gallery – Richard Andres Selected Works 1950 – 1975
June 09 – August 20
wolfsgallery.com
CLEVELAND, OHIO — Wolfs will present the exhibition and sale “Richard Andres: Selected Works 1950-1975,” featuring the early works of American abstract expressionist Richard Andres (1927-2013). The show will be on view June 9-August 20.
Richard Andres was an odd combination of an artistic hermit and a figure on top of the latest developments on the contemporary scene. After studying at the Cleveland Institute of Art on a National Scholastic scholarship, Andres immersed himself in painting, spending off-hours at the Cleveland Museum, focusing on artists such as Van Gogh and Matisse. When asked to describe his art, Andres struggled. “It’s hard to describe art. Art is something that’s there, to look at. So, words are very difficult. Essentially, the closest I can come is to say I’m a 1950s painter. The ‘50s was sort of an attitude toward art. It was going to be big. It was going to be strong. This great big group of painters had this attitude toward painting and it’s hard to pin it down because each painter was different. It really is a style that’s hard to define but the term ‘abstract expressionism’ is often used.”
According to 60’s critic Helen Borsick, “Technically, his paintings are abstractions, but that is only part of the story. Andres’ complex style of composition — strong in design and drawing — involves compartmentalizing the canvas with favorite signs, figurative allusions and symbols. Any degree of familiarity with his canvases develops recognition of his painting language and repeated forms as well as of the endless nuances of color tints and overpaint and underpainting methods.”
Some of Andres’ inspiration came from other artists, once stating that Edward Munch, Emile Nolde and Max Beckmann ranked within his top ten most admired painters. While often being his own worst critic, Andres grew content and more relaxed later in life, saying, “For years, I’d do a painting and say, ‘But it’s not good enough. You try to achieve something and you overachieve it but it’s still not good enough. I finally did a painting and looked at it and said, That is good enough.’ From that point on, the older paintings got better in my own mind.”
While with his finger always on the pulse of his more famous contemporaries, Andres was content to simply produce, preferring to avoid the limelight.
Director Michael Wolf of Wolfs describes his discovery of this trove of “masterful abstraction expressionist works” as “a rare and wondrous event,” and comments that it evokes “the heady times of the midcentury American art world.”
A fully illustrated catalog with more than 50 works, including an essay by Dr Henry Adams accompanies the exhibition and can be purchased for $20 post-paid.

THOMASTON, MAINE — Thomaston Place Auction Galleries’ three-day auction on July 8-10 will feature a catalog of art, including works by Andrew Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth, Winslow Homer, Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and John Singer Sargent, plus a collection of Old Master paintings. Additionally, there will be a group of American colonial-era furniture.
Among the American art will be “The Shepherdess,” a charcoal and chalk drawing by Winslow Homer (1836-1910); a signed and numbered Andy Warhol (1928-1987) serigraph from the “Marilyn Monroe” portfolio published in 1967; gouache drybrush “Portrait of Bishop D. Coburn” by Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009); Jamie Wyeth’s (b 1946) charcoal portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger executed at Andy Warhol’s “The Factory” in 1977; an oil on canvas bust portrait of a young woman by Norman Rockwell (1894-1978); and “Breaking Clouds,” an oil on board seascape by Frederick Judd Waugh (1861-1940). There will also be a collection of art photography, including 13 images of celebrated people by Yousef Karsh (1908-2002).
Many of the American art masterworks in this sale are from the estate of collector and Nashville, Tenn., dealer Gary R. Haynes (1945-2021). Haynes was a successful designer and advertising executive who, later in life, developed and refined his interest in fine art by studying with Carl Sublett and following the work of Andrew Wyeth. Through the decades, he and his wife, Joanne, would visit Maine, seeking Wyeth’s artistic perspective firsthand, quietly collecting and ultimately opening Haynes Galleries in Thomaston and Nashville.
Leading the international art category will be a painting depicting a ship moored on the Baltic coast in the moonlight by Ivan Aivazovsky (Russian/Ukrainian, 1817-1900). Additionally, there will be Old Master works such as “Madonna and Child with St John the Baptist” an oil on panel by Lucas Cranach the Elder (German, 1472-1553), “Der Auferstandene Christus” (The Risen Christ) by Gerard Seghers (Flemish, 1591-1651) and “Peasants Dancing in a Barn” by Adriaen Jansz Van Ostade (German, Dutch, 1610-1685).
Among the selection of early American furniture will be a circa 1830s paint-decorated country Sheraton Pennsylvania Dutch bench; a mid-Eighteenth Century transitional Queen Anne cherry and pine high chest; and an Eighteenth Century red-painted country Queen Anne shaped top tea table. English and continental furniture offerings will include Eighteenth Century Italian parquetry chests, Nineteenth Century French cabinets and a gaming table, an intricately carved Irish Chippendale gallery top table and an English George III period canopy bed.
Folk art will be well represented in this sale, with a colored pencil drawing by outsider artist Bill Traylor (1854-1947); a pair of mounted sheared wool rugs, each depicting two opposing spaniel dogs; and a molded copper weathervane attributed to J. Harris & Co. depicting Native American warrior “Massasoit”; a graduated set of five Shaker oval pantry boxes; plus antique theorems, eagle plaques, ship models, walking sticks, sailor’s valentines and a collection of wood carvings.
The clock collection will include a Connecticut Federal period wooden works tall clock by Thomas & Hoadley, Plymouth; an English Nineteenth Century bracket clock in black lacquer with tortoiseshell mounts; and a three-piece late Nineteenth Century rococo-style fire gilded bronze mantel clock and garniture set by Emile Colin & Cie, Paris.
Featured among the 166-lot estate jewelry and watch group will be a mid-Nineteenth Century 22K gold Archeological Revival necklace by C. (Carlo) Civilotti, Rome; and a necklace with Eighteenth Century pendant set with a Persian turquoise cabochon and rose cut diamonds suspended from a retro turquoise and diamond chain.
There will be more than 265 lots of Asian antiques and artifacts, such as a Chinese cinnabar four-fold floor screen with raised cloisonne and jade decoration; a framed Seventeenth or Eighteenth Century Tibetan thangka of Green Tara; and two Chinese Ming dynasty period bronze Immortal figures.
The gallery will be open for previews from Monday through Friday, June 27 through July 1 (9 am to 4 pm); Saturday, July 2 (10 am to 3 pm); and Tuesday through Thursday, July 5-7 (9 am to 4 pm). Previewing will also be available on auction days, July 8-10, from 9 to 11 am.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. — A veritable time capsule of treasures from two old Southern families — ranging from a rare 1830 Native American portrait to Civil War generals’ letters and Georgian jewelry — will cross the block July 9-10 at Case Auctions, in a two-day sale that also includes an original Leroy Neiman painting, a rare Swiss automaton watch and an important African American quilt.
The auction features objects from multiple estates and private and museum collections. Several are from the estate of Mary Bright Wilson, a former middle Tennessee resident whose family moved from North Carolina and Virginia to settle the area in the late 1700s, and from the Kentucky collection of Peggy Mahoney and Michael Mahoney, whose family tree includes breeders of well-known thoroughbreds and a Confederate general.
One of the key highlights of the Wilson collection is a rare miniature portrait of a Native American brave named Kinheche or Kin-hi-chee, painted in 1830 during a historic summit between Chickasaw leaders and President Andrew Jackson in Franklin, Tenn. Among the observers at the event were a prominent local gentleman, Guilford Dudley, and his 22-year-old daughter Caroline. According to family history, Miss Dudley (who may have been an art teacher at a nearby Female Academy) was so intrigued by Kinheche’s appearance in his tribal garb that she painted his likeness, intending to give it to him, but was advised by the chief not to do. She died two years later,
The Wilson collection also includes miniature portraits of North Carolina Revolutionary War general Thomas Eaton and his daughter Harriet, as well as an archive of Civil War letters saved by members of the Fulton family of Fayetteville, Tenn., which sent four sons into battle on the Confederate side. The Wilson collection also includes antique diamond and gold jewelry worn by women in the family, Chinese paintings brought back from the Far East by naval officer James Fulton in 1860 and dating from the Civil War through World War I are war mementos.
The Mahoney collection features several examples of Kentucky furniture, such as a rare Windsor settee attributed to William Challen of Lexington, a petite blockfront Sheraton hunt board and a sugar chest with unusual serpentine skirt, all of which originally graced family homes. The Mahoney collection also includes a Confederate Thomas Griswold foot officer’s sword and scabbard, three vintage Rolex watches, a collection of Georgian, Art Deco and other jewelry and a collection of silver, including a Gorham Martele tray.
The auction also features a diverse selection of art. A large Leroy Neiman oil on canvas depicting a glittering dinner party from the estate of Palm Beach and Chattanooga publishing executive Margaret Harold Roberts, leads the American paintings. There is also a tonalist watercolor by South Carolina artist Alice Ravenel Huger Smith and a Ralph Blakelock landscape; marine paintings by Earl Collins, Lester Chadbourne and Alex Breede; a collection of regional landscapes by Pennsylvania/New Jersey artist Jeanne Davies; and a collection of Twentieth Century sporting art by David Maas, Chet Reneson, Brett James Smith and Dwayne Harty.
European art standouts include a Flemish School triptych after Quentin Matsys (1466-1530), depicting scenes of Christ’s infancy, and two Rembrandt etchings, “Jan Lutman, Goldsmith,” (state II/III) and “The Return of the Prodigal Son” (state II/III).
Landscapes by two Florida “Highwaymen” artists, Robert Butler and Sam Newton, are available for sale, along with two works by “Memory Painter” Helen LaFrance: one of a tiger and the other depicting the Woolridge Cemetery monuments in her hometown of Mayfield, Ky.
Contemporary works on paper include a Picasso signed collotype, “Le Peintre” (published by Guy Spitzer, circa 1960) and a Lyonel Feininger abstract woodcut, “Dorf.”
A rare Swiss automaton pocket watch attributed to Pierre-Simon Gounouilhou (French/Swiss, 1779-1857) tells both the time, and a story. The double open face watch features a Dutch kitchen scene on one side with various movements that bring it to life, including a woman grinding a mortar and pestle, a crackling fire and chicken rotating on a rotisserie, all in an 18K gold surround.
There are more than 150 lots of silver in the auction, including multiple tea sets. One of the most unusual is a rare Nineteenth Century coin silver repousse tea service chased with scenes of New Orleans’ Jackson Square on one side and images of pelicans on the reverse, reminiscent of those on the Louisiana state seal. There is also a coin silver tea set by Alexander Morin of Philadelphia and a collection of Kentucky coin silver that includes several mint julep cups, two Asa Blanchard ladles and numerous pieces of flatware from rural Kentucky makers.
A well-documented and exhibited African American quilt leads the textile offerings. The applique quilt was made by Josie Covington (1869-1909) of Triune, Tenn., and features a number of applique motifs, including star-shaped flowers, pinwheels, scissors and a central hand. It was included in a traveling exhibition sponsored by the Cleveland Museum of Art and was the cover image for the accompanying catalog. The auction also includes a bright pink Hawaiian Quilt, a Bourbon County, Ky., needlework sampler dating from 1815 and two rare Tennessee samplers, along with an Eighteenth Century Flemish Verdure tapestry and several Persian carpets.
Case’s gallery is at 4310 Papermill Drive. For information, www.caseantiques.com or 865-558-3033.

LARCHMONT, N.Y. — For its summer estates auction on Sunday, July 10, at 10 am, Clarke Auction Gallery will present a well-rounded sale that hits all the major collecting categories with notable and important works, yet it is far-ranging too.
“Basically, it’s a great sale overall from fine art and Midcentury Modern to furniture, jewelry and Asian antiques,” said owner and auctioneer Ronan Clarke. “We have a nice collection of Grand Tour bronzes, a good selection of decorative clocks and porcelains as well as a larger-than-usual grouping of fine carpets.”
Fine art will be particularly strong and led by a work by an important living artist, Sean Scully (Irish, b 1945), whose oil on paper “Drawing #30,” 1980, is estimated at $20/30,000. This 30¼-by-23-inch work is signed in pencil and came from a Westchester, N.Y., estate; the artist lives nearby in Nyack, N.Y. Another standout is a Mane Katz (French-Ukrainian, 1894-1962) oil on canvas ($10/15,000) titled “The Flower Cart.”
Among a curated selection of contemporary works are a Paul Henry Brach oil on canvas ($5/7,000), “Tournament #2,” signed and dated ‘54, and a 1971 screenprint in colors by Tom Wesselmann, “Great American Brown Nude: Cutout” ($2/3,000). A small group of Japanese paintings is highlighted by a Jun Dobashi oil on canvas ($3/5,000), “La Naissance.” Among sculptures is an untitled figure ($8/12,000) by Leo Amino, signed and dated 1952.
Whitney Bria, Clarke’s jewelry and silver specialist, doesn’t get floored often, but when she opened the box containing a recent consignment, she was stunned to find a pair of platinum, diamond and pearl earrings with 8 carats of diamonds ($6/9,000). The earrings have overlapping bands of tapered diamond baguettes and ending in semi-baroque pearl drops. “They’re beautiful, early to mid-Twentieth Century, and the diamonds are of great quality,” she said. “The earrings have a really great weight in general.” Also highlighting the jewelry category is a platinum ring centered with a 1½-carat GIA round-cut diamond ($2/3,000).
Raymond Yard designs are quite desirable, and this auction features two three-piece suites bought directly from him by the consignor’s mother, estimated at $4/6,000 and $3/5,000.
With 70 lots from which to choose, the Asian arts category offers some items from an estate in Sleepy Hollow. A standout is a Chinese carved rock crystal lidded vase and cover having a leaf border and low relief flowers ($800-$1,200) that is well-executed. Carved jade is always popular, and an example is a Chinese carved russet jade snuff bottle with an amber stopper, 2.375 inches tall ($300/500).
One of Bria’s favorite Asian antiques in the sale is a pair of Eighteenth Century Chinese cinnabar lidded urns on stands ($600/900), Chien Lung period, 13 inches tall. “It’s unusual to see stands that are also cinnabar, and it’s a particularly nice example that comes with an 1980s appraisal showing provenance,” she said.
Several large-scale statement piece items for the home will cross the block, including a pair of palace-size Sevres porcelain urns hand painted with figures and a landscape, 52 inches tall ($4/6,000); a palace-size hand woven carpet, 23 feet 2 inches by 12 feet 7 inches ($4/6,000); a monumental Grand Tour bronze column with Napoleon on top, 52 inches tall ($2/3,000); and an Eighteenth Century bronze mounted marble top commode, parquetry inlaid ($3/5,000).
The furniture category is particularly strong in midcentury pieces, led by a George Nakashima table for Widdicomb and six chairs ($3/5,000), a pair of Jansen bronze and marble gueridon tables evincing bronze work with original patina ($3/5,000), and a set of six Hans Wegner chairs in oak and woven cane ($3/5,000).
Rounding out the auction will be a signed Codan Mexican sterling midcentury-style, six-piece tea service ($3/5,000), a Continental silver tankard ($1/1,500) notable for its split mermaid finial on the handle that looks as if it inspired the Starbucks logo; and two Faberge-style items: a gilt silver lidded chalice with enamel decoration ($400/600) and a silver, spinach jade and gilt silver-mounted hinged box ($400/600).
