Contemporary Art by Andy Warhol, Marc Chagall, and David Gerstein Available at Robinhood Auctions

Assorted works of fine art, including paintings, prints, and sculptures, will be available in Robinhood Auctions’ December Contemporary Horizons sale. Among the top lots is Golden Marilyn 11.38, a limited edition silkscreen print by American artist Andy Warhol. Aside from mere artistic innovation, Warhol’s work provides a critical perspective on celebrity and materialism in contemporary society. After Marilyn Monroe’s death, Warhol created a series of photographs reflecting society’s tendency to reduce individuals to commodities. The offered piece is stamped on the back and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Another key fine art lot in the catalog is a color lithograph by Russian-French artist Marc Chagall. The Circus (Le Cirque), from the Cirque series by Chagall, was published in 1967 and includes 15 black-and-white and 23 color lithographs. Chagall strived to construct a fantasy world with no limits in his work. With his distinctive illustrative style and spontaneity, Chagall captured the drama and action of the circus in his artwork. This piece bears Marc Chagall’s pencil signature on the bottom along with the edition number.

A selection of important sculptures is available in this auction, including a free-standing work by David Gerstein, titled Stylish Bird. Gerstein, internationally recognized for his paintings, serigraphs, and steel sculptures, captured the life of a bird here with an animated, lifelike model. The body is blue, while green, violet, yellow, and red make up the tail and wings. Bidders can also consider Nastya Rovenskaya’s mixed media work titled Making Dough and a lithograph titled Roseville Profile from Peter Max.
