Fine Art Attributed to Lee Krasner, Lynne Drexler, Pablo Picasso, and More to Sell at 500 Gallery

Fine prints, multiples, paintings, and sculptures by and attributed to master artists such as Lee Krasner, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Georgia O’Keeffe, and others will soon come to the market with 500 Gallery. An abstract composition attributed to Krasner is among the top lots of the sale. It is an oil on canvas rendered in muted shades of navy blue, gray, and orange. An American Abstract Expressionist artist, Krasner worked on the cutting edge of abstraction and spent her career in a constant state of reinvention. Her canvases are defined by their sweeping colors and amorphous shapes. Another notable abstract work in the catalog was painted in the manner of Lynne Drexler. This colorful abstract composition from 1962 features small swatches of red, orange, pink, and cornflower blue arranged in a mosaic-like pattern. Drexler was a daring Abstract Expressionist who encountered fame early in her career. She stepped away from the spotlight later in life, and her work languished in obscurity for decades before making a market comeback. 

Several drawings and sketches are also available with 500 Gallery this February, including a collection of 27 watercolor sketches, sold as a set, that are attributed to Pablo Picasso. Each work is signed but undated. Also on offer is a charcoal and pastel on paper piece attributed to Manoucher Yektai and a Yertle the Turtle drawing attributed to Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel).
