ABC: Estate Finds, Day 2 of 3

Hans van Hoek’s oil painting is one of the highlighted lots in the upcoming Live Virtual Auction, offered by Millea Bros. The piece uses light and dark colors to show a nude figure against a landscape scene. Van Hoek is particularly recognized for his expressive works. For several years, he studied nature and people, which gradually led him to develop his distinctive style. Borzo Gallery describes the content of his paintings as a “balance between form and content, harmony in color and composition.”

Another mass media work, titled Dionysis Dinner, is from Sandro Chia. A renowned Italian artist, Chia creates works associated with the Italian Renaissance and Futurism movement. He was also among the leaders of the Transavanguardia Neo-Expressionist movement. The available piece shows a woman surrounded by fire. Also offered is a pair of Japanese lidded Imari jars from the Edo period. This ceramic style is named after a city in Japan. The polychrome enameled porcelain is decorated with panels of flowering trees and dogs. Explore the full catalog for this auction and register to bid on Bidsquare.
