Oscar Howe was a Yankton Sioux painter from South Dakota, best known for his influence on contemporary Native American art.

The upcoming auction, presented by Cottone Auctions, will offer Umini Wacipi (War and Peace Dance) by Howe. This 1958 casein and gouache abstract painting shows pristine lines, vibrant colors, and dynamic motions. Another highlight of the auction is a sterling silver gold plated flatware set by Birks.

“Glass is the most magical of all materials. It transmits light in a special way.” Dale Chihuly’s words describe his fascination with glass. Chihuly distinguished himself by elevating glass into the realm of fine art. He uses gravity to let molten glass organically find its shape, molded into irregular shapes and forms. In the upcoming Online Art & Antiques auction presented by Cottone Auctions, one of Chihuly’s glass sculptures will be available. While many first recognize Pablo Picasso as a painter, his works go beyond the canvas. At the end of the 1940s, Picasso started experimenting with ceramic works. These pieces include subjects such as Greek mythological figures, animals, bullfighting scenes, face motifs, and more. One of Picasso’s ceramic works will be featured in the upcoming sale. The auction showcases many other artists as well, including Sam Francis and Earl Biss. View the full catalog and register for bidding on Cottone Auctions.
