Hungry for some good news? 2023 has been a stellar year for Thanksgiving-themed fine art at auction.

Grandma Moses Painting at Doyle On November 8, 2023, Doyle of New York, NY sold lot #112, Grandma Moses' (Anna Mary Robertson, American, 1860 - 1961) Over the River to Grandma's House, on Thanksgiven [sic], from 1943. Estimated at USD 50,000 to $80,000, it realized $124,450. This oil and glitter or sugar on Masonite painting measured 20.5 inches by 30 inches. It was signed ‘Moses (ll)’, dated March 4, 1943, numbered 345, and inscribed as titled on a label on the reverse. The work pictured a tranquil snowy country scene featuring houses, barns, a horse-drawn sled, pine trees, and a covered bridge. According to Doyle, this painting was acquired from Grandma Moses by Elizabeth Clark on behalf of Bess Lambert in 1943, and has descended in the family of Charles and Bess Lambert. Folk artist Grandma Moses was proof that success can come at any age. Although she loved and appreciated art since childhood, she began her "painting career" when she was 78. My Life's History, her autobiography, was published in 1952. Her profile and work were featured on the cover of Time magazine soon after in 1953. Sugaring Off, her most expensive piece, was auctioned by Christie’s New York in 2006 and made over $1.2 million. Lot #54, J. C. Leyendecker's Peeling Apples Study, was estimated at $800 to $1,200 and sold for $13,750. Image courtesy of Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers. J. C. Leyendecker Painting at Bruneau & Co.

Auction PreviewNoteworthy Artwork From Narayan Bendre Will Be Available With Bruneau & Co.
Born in 1910, Narayan Shridhar Bendre was an influential pioneer of contemporary Indian art. He became interested in art after enrolling at the State Art School in Indore. As a student, Bendre was taught to observe nature and light. This learning played a key role in his career, and its influence can be seen in most of his paintings. Often depicting the daily lives of Indian people, Bendre’s works are based on his soft palette and interplay between light and shade. Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers’ Estate Fine Art & Antique Online Auction will feature a Narayan Shridhar Bendre outdoor painting. Completed in 1992, the piece shows a girl on a tree swing. Seated under the tree’s shelter is a woman looking after two young children. Another noteworthy item in the sale is B. Prabha’s oil painting. This piece shows two women holding birds while another woman watches them. “It is my aim to paint the trauma and tragedy of women,” said the artist. Through her paintings, Prabha attempted to address the issues faced by women in her country. Prabha’s style evolved in 1956, which marked a departure from modern abstraction towards decorative figuration. View more lots on Bidsquare, and browse other online auctions.
Auction PreviewPaintings by Trailblazing Indian Artists Highlight Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Upcoming Sale
Ghulam Rasool Santosh was an avant-garde painter and poet born in India. After a spiritual experience in 1964, he took to a trailblazing painting style. Tantra (mysticism) and Kashmir Shaivism (a movement led by Lord Shiva’s followers) inspired his body of works. An interesting tantric abstract painting by Santosh is a key highlight of the upcoming auction by Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers. With a radiating red background signifying spiritual energy, the oil on board portrays a central motif of geometric lotus. The artist uses clean lines to illustrate the imagery of Tantric philosophy. Works of other prominent Indian artists also lead the listings. One of them is a watercolor on paper by M.F. Husain. He often portrays horses as free-spirited creatures, drawing inspiration from the Cubist representation of animals. Often called the Picasso of India, Husain adapted Cubism in unique ways. B. Prabha’s oil on canvas of a mother and child is representative of the lives of women and children living in rural areas. The figures in the painting are elongated and the deep red veil is the single dominant color. Prabha was a well-known name at a time when women artists in India were still unheard of.

The summer auction season drew to a gentle close in August 2021. The month offered many opportunities to encounter contemporary art and 20th-century collectibles, as well as dedicated sales of Outsider Art, LGBTQ+ art, and celebrity memorabilia. The art world also showed signs of recovery after more than a year of pandemic-related losses. California’s Monterey Car Week returned in full force after an extended break, and Christie’s announced ambitious plans to expand its presence in Hong Kong. From American pewter to beluga whales, here are the top headlines from around the auction world in August 2021. 1970 Porsche 917K. Image from RM Sotheby’s.

Auction IndustryMasters on the Market: Manjit Bawa
Artist Manjit Bawa. Image from Sotheby’s. Like many in the mid-20th century, Indian artist Manjit Bawa traveled to Europe to work and study art. He found himself surrounded by the defining works of Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, and other increasingly popular movements. Unlike some of his contemporaries, though, Bawa was not impressed. Risking the curse of obscurity, Bawa nonetheless decided to ignore these modern trends in his own work. “Being a turbanned Sikh from an ordinary middle-class family was daunting enough but to strike out against the prevalent forces of Cubism and the iconic [Paul] Klee was to really ask for big trouble," remembered Manjit Bawa. When he returned to India, Bawa's experiences helped him look inward instead of outward for inspiration. Foundational Hindu texts, such as the Mahabharata, became a major source of images and narratives for his work, along with the sacred text of Sikhism, the Guru Granth Sahib. Bawa also began utilizing the bright color palette that he associated with India. This month, Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers will offer an ink drawing Manjit Bawa produced in 1991 (lot #24; estimate: USD 2,000 - $3,000). Five disparate figures line the piece, from a musician playing an instrument to a beast with its tongue sticking out. Bawa cared very little for elaborate backgrounds in his works. In this drawing, for example, Bawa lets the figures float next to each other on a plain, white backdrop. Flipping the piece over, collectors will discover this drawing decorates an invitation to a cocktail party. Artist M. F. Husain had recently earned the Padma Vibhushan, one of the highest honors in India for civilians. The party celebrated his accomplishment. Manjit Bawa figurative ink drawing. Image from Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers. While some associate Bawa primarily with his paintings, drawing was a fundamental part of his process throughout his career. Before traveling to London, Bawa studied under Modern Indian painter Abani Sen in New Delhi. Manjit Bawa remembered how this teacher “would ask me to do 50 sketches every day, only to reject most of them. As a result I inculcated the habit of working…
