Auction PreviewHans Böhler Painting and Tommi Parzinger Cabinets Featured in Abington Auction’s Summer Sale
Hans Böhler was an Expressionist painter from Austria. He was well-known for his bold-colored artworks featuring a unique mix of Impressionism and Austrian avant-garde. The upcoming sale, presented by Abington Auction Gallery, Inc., presents The Red Shawl by Hans Böhler. The heavy impasto oil painting portrays a woman wearing a red shawl against a plastered ochre background completed in the artist’s signature style. Also featured is a mixed media screen print and lithograph titled Shards I by Frank Stella. The limited-edition artwork features a rich texture and strong colors. Stella was impressed by the possibilities of screen printing techniques. The process allowed the artist to express his geometric approach. The auction also highlights a pair of cabinets designed by Tommi Parzinger for Charak Modern. The mid-century modern cabinets on a wooden base have two front doors. They also have round brass handles, which act as accent pieces. Parzinger’s high-style modernist furniture is notable for its lacquer work, crafty materials, and global design inspirations.

Auction PreviewAbington Auction’s Summer Sale Features Eyvind Earle’s Oil Painting
American painter and illustrator Eyvind Earle pursued art from a young age. In 1951, he made a major breakthrough when he collaborated with Walt Disney Studios. Of his paintings, the artist once said, “I go to slightly lighter colors until little by little, the forms begin to take shape and I start to see what is happening. Since I never plan in advance, I simply let myself be led by instinct, taste and intuition.” The upcoming Summer Sale, presented by Abington Auction Gallery, Inc., features an oil on board painting by Eyvind Earle. Produced in 1973, the work depicts a dark tree trunk in front of an old barn. Also among the leading lots is a screenprint by Andy Warhol. The piece is part of the Alexander the Great series, which was Warhol’s only series based on classical art. Beyond fine art, the auction also includes a selection of estate jewelry, sculpture, and watches. Browse the full catalog and register to bid on Bidsquare.
Auction PreviewHarry Bertoia’s Kinetic Sculpture Available in Early Spring Auction
The American sculptor Harry Bertoia was a prolific metal worker known for timeless art pieces. The artist initially worked at the Evans Product Company and later designed furniture for Knoll.

The upcoming Abington Auction Gallery sale presents a kinetic sculpture titled Willow by Harry Bertoia. The available gathered steel wire sculpture draws inspiration from the weeping willow trees at Bertoia’s property. Also showcased is Louise Nevelson’s Sky Gate XXXVI monochromatic wooden sculpture.

Auction PreviewWork of Impressionist Master Jean Baptiste Armand Guillaumin in Abington’s January Winter Auction
Jean Baptiste Armand Guillaumin was one of the founding members of Impressionism and among the least-known Impressionist masters. Coming from a modest background, Guillaumin worked a series of odd jobs to pay for his evening drawing lessons. In 1863, he attended the Académie Suisse, where he met his lifelong friends Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro. His early works are notable for their thick, fluid brushstrokes and muted palette. Later, under the influence of Vincent van Gogh, Guillaumin began to use brighter and more expressive colors. The upcoming Abington Auction Gallery event features an oil painting by Jean Baptiste Armand Guillaumin. Titled Bord de Riviere, the landscape painting shows a riverside with trees. The auction also highlights a painting by French artist René Rimbert, who invented “painting of silence.” On his visit to Germany, Rimbert befriended painter and poet Max Jacob. Talking about Rimbert’s work, Jacob once said: “Something of the calm of nature emanates from Rimbert’s landscape, it is as if he pledged to compete with the silence of matter.” The event also offers jewelry, watches, Asian arts, and furniture.
