Artworks by David Hockney and Nicola Simbari, Georgian Breakfront Cabinet Highlight Ahlers & Ogletree’s Upcoming Sale
Apr 09, 2022 10:00 EDTEnglish painter David Hockney is a man of many hats, experimenting with painting, printmaking and other art forms. Having contributed significantly to the 1960s Pop Art movement, he is viewed as one of the most prominent British artists of the 20th century. Hockney’s The Desk, July 1st (1984), a collage of chromogenic prints, is a key highlight of the upcoming sale at Ahlers & Ogletree. Portraying a desk with a vase atop, the artwork exemplifies Hockney’s technical acumen and pursuit of innovative expression. Another key painting is Nicola Simbari’s figural oil on canvas titled Anne Du Bistro. Using vivid colors, the Italian painter accomplished depth in the composition with his typical palette knife technique. Abstract Expressionism and Geometric Abstraction greatly influenced Simbari, though he firmly remained a figurative painter owing to his keen interest in people.
A monumental mahogany Georgian breakfront cabinet of the 19th century leads the furniture listings. The inlaid cabinet is designed with four astragal glazed doors, a cornice above, and musical and mythological motifs on the base. A Persian Bakhtiari rug is also a striking piece, hand-knotted and decked with repeated cedar tree and rose flower motifs.
