Auction PreviewModernism Auction
Alexander Archipenko was a sculptor and avant-garde artist who instilled Cubism into three-dimensional architectural structures. Sculptures by the artist use organic curves and alternate planes to show human figures. The upcoming Modernism Auction, presented by Selkirk Auctioneers & Appraisers, presents a Cubist-inspired reclining bronze sculpture by Archipenko. The auction also features a mixed media work by Larry Bell. The offered collage, titled Valencia, is made of vaporized metals. It was executed in 1991. Another highlight is a 1984 Ford Ranger XLT truck. The first-generation Perkins diesel edition is a restored model in Highland green. This rebuilt model has covered less than 15,000 miles, has a 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, a 4-speed manual gearbox, and a beige interior. The auction also features silverware, jewelry, timepieces, Charles Eames furniture, and audio accessories.

Auction PreviewSummer Eclectic Auction
For those who spend their lives exclusively on land, it can be a challenge to hear the call of the sea. It is wild, untamed, and usually out of reach. The charm of the Summer Eclectic Auction offered by Selkirk Auctions lies in the dozens of authentic nautical objects that help bring the sea into the home. The first and leading lot is a 20th century Swedish binnacle- a wood and brass stand that holds a ship’s navigational instruments. This colorful and complex artifact invokes the romantic antiquity of old ships; as do several dramatic ship’s wheels. Numerous pieces of dark, heavy furniture also match the navy décor. All of this sailing memorabilia is supported by works of fine art, furniture, and sculpture—including several fashionable figurines from Giuseppe Armani.

Auction PreviewSummer Gallery Auction
Accompanied by over 300 lots of antiques, Asian art, fine and decoration art, furniture, and jewelry, Selkirk Auctioneers and Appraisers presents an exciting selection at Summer Gallery Auction. Amidst the lots are artworks by Joseph Mallord William Turner. Gifted with boundless power of imagination, Turner was a watercolorist in the forefronts of art history. Each of his works capture light, color, and life. The auction also features a rare Chinese cloisonné (decorated metal) vase that dates back to the Qianlong period. Unlike the Chinese Kangxi bowl, which is known for its intense monochromatic shade of blue, this cloisonné vessel is a varicolored turquoise embellished with lotus blossoms and scrolling vines. An exceptional addition in Selkirk’s curation is a sculpture of Buddha. An ideal iconography that can find an audience in everyone.
