\n\tDuring its New York design week (June 5\u201311), auction house Sotheby\u2019s will offer art and design from the estate of revered art dealer Barbara Gladstone, who died in 2024 at age 89. The 140 lots on offer include contemporary art, modern and contemporary design, prints, and photographs and are estimated to bring between $6.9 and $10 million. The sale takes place on Tuesday, June 9, with a public preview exhibition opening June 2 at the house\u2019s Madison Avenue headquarters.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe house previously sold a dozen contemporary artworks from Gladstone\u2019s collection as part of a May 15 sale. Including pieces by Carroll Dunham, Sigmar Polke, Elizabeth Peyton, Richard Prince, Rudolf Stingel, and Andy Warhol, the group sold for $18.5 million (with fees) against a high estimate of $12 million (not including fees), with all finding buyers and 75 percent of them selling above their high estimate.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe art and design sale, in addition to works by artists such as Matthew Barney, Anish Kapoor, Alex Katz, Yayoi Kusama, Peyton, Prince, and Amy Sillman, includes significant pieces of midcentury European modernism by designers such as Alexandre Noll, Pierre Paulin, Jean Prouv\u00e9, Jean Roy\u00e8re, \u00c9mile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Otto Schulz, and Paavo Tynell. Other pieces bridge the divide between art and design, such as a Scott Burton granite caf\u00e9 table, a Dami\u00e1n Ortega wood chair sculpture, and Franz West chairs and dining table.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen my colleagues in the contemporary art department brought me in to review the design pieces, I got excited because I feel like this collection speaks to a phenomenon of the growing momentum of integration between art and design,\u201d Jodi Pollack, the house\u2019s chairman of 20th-century design and chairman of major collections, Americas, told ARTnews<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n\tPollack cited two successful sales of art and design this spring: a New York sale from the collection of Jean and Terry de Gunzburg (she was a fashion magnate, he a biologist), led by a record-smashing set of Claude Lalanne mirrors, and a London sale from the holdings of British socialite and arts patron Pauline Karpidas. \u201cThis is exactly how collectors want to see art and design presented together,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cBarbara obviously saw this connection between art and sculpture and objects decades ago. She was immersed in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLeading the sale is Richard Prince\u2019s Medusa <\/em>(2003), from the artist\u2019s \u201cHoods\u201d series of sculptures, consisting of the hoods of American muscle cars. It\u2019s expected to bring between $800,000 and $1.2 million. Other examples from the series figure in the collections of museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Two artworks bear high estimates of $600,000: Kai Althoff\u2019s mixed-media Unter der Autobahnbr\u00fccke <\/em>(2003), showing a group of people under an elevated roadway, and Alex Katz\u2019s portrait Halsey 9 <\/em>(2022).<\/p>\n

\n\tLeading the design selections is a sideboard from ca. 1948 by French designer Jean Prouv\u00e9, whose design pieces have fetched prices as high as $1.7 million, the price achieved for a table at Sotheby\u2019s New York in 2021, according to analytics company ARTDAI.\u00a0The sideboard carries an estimate of $120,000 to $180,000.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s an incredible interest and influence of materiality and texture,\u201d Lisa Dennison, Sotheby\u2019s chairman, Americas, told ARTnews<\/em>. \u201cWhen I look at the Prince car hood, I see the silvery paint, and something that\u2019s between art and architecture and sculpture, and the Prouv\u00e9 cabinet that has similar coloration. I see beautiful echoes. I think Barbara appreciated echoes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
