Auction PreviewTwo-Session Sale From Everard Auctions and Appraisals Offers Victor Vasarely’s Serigraph Neptune-3, Rock Crystal Table Clock from Seaman Schepps, and More
Everard Auctions and Appraisals’ upcoming two-session sale includes hundreds of fine and decorative art items from various Southern estates and collections, as well as Outsider Art. Leading the first session is an artwork by Victor Vasarely titled Neptune-3. A Hungarian painter and sculptor, Vasarely was considered a leading figure in the Op Art movement. A distinctive characteristic of his work is the grid-like surface of his paintings and sculptures, which play with the viewer's perception of form by creating an illusion of spatial depth, perspective, and motion. Rearranging colored squares is a hallmark of his pieces, in which he was able to create an endless variety of permutations by repeating just a few colors. The available lot is a serigraph with shades of blue, red, purple, and green. It belongs to an edition of 250. It is pencil signed by Victor Vasarely on the lower right. Other notable works in the catalog include a twisted organic bronze sculpture with a high-polish finish by American artist Bob Bennett and a George III-style six light chandelier with scrolling details. Among the top lots in the second session of this event is a rock crystal table clock from Seaman Schepps. Designs by Schepps were characterized by the combinations of rare materials, such as wood or shell, with semiprecious and precious gem cabochons. The face of the available lot has a shell logo, with 'Seaman Schepps Est. 1904' and '18K Stone Base Clock Gold Plated Base Metal' inscribed on its faces.
