Auctions at Showplace to Offer Works by José de Rivera, Winston Roeth, and More
Jul 23, 2023 12:00 EDT
The upcoming sale from Auctions at Showplace will present over 200 lots of fine and decorative art, including works by José de Rivera and Winston Roeth. Among the top lots is a 1980 brass sculpture by de Rivera, an Abstract Expressionist sculptor best known for his curvilinear bronze and steel works. De Rivera is renowned for Infinity (1967), a polished steel arabesque constructed from a steel plate and threaded rod. It is installed on the National Mall in front of the National Museum of History and Technology in Washington, D.C. The available work, titled Construction No. 280, is a kinetic sculpture in brass mounted on a motorized pedestal of black lacquer. Using abstract constructions, de Rivera explored space, motion, and light, resulting in commissions for the World’s Fair and public works for museums, airports, hotels, and colleges.
Other notable lots in the sale include paintings by Winston Roeth. In his paintings, Roeth explores issues of color, light, and space from a phenomenological perspective. In order to experiment with the surface extensively, the artist applies several layers of pigments mixed with polyurethane dispersion and water. In his work, Roeth strives to turn pigments into light by achieving color saturation. This sale features a geometric painting on paper with gold ink. Additional lots of interest include works by Mac Wells, Daryl Hughto, Gaston Sebire, and Charles and Ray Eames furniture.
