Fine Art, Furniture and Decorative Art

The upcoming Fine Art, Furniture, and Decorative Art sale, presented by Gray’s Auctioneers, will offer over 350 lots of collectibles, fine art, furniture, decorative art, and more. A key item of the auction is a mixed media painting by Julian Stanczak, titled Figure. Born in Borownica, Poland, Stanczak immigrated to Cleveland in 1950 after escaping a Siberian work camp. His first major show, Julian Stanczak: Optical Paintings, gave attention to the term “Op Art” and made him a leading figure of the Op Art movement. A distinctive feature of his style is the use of complementary color schemes, which add to the optical illusions in his paintings. 

Among the leading lots of the event are two wall reliefs by Helen Beling. The American sculptor worked in a variety of mediums, including stone, bronze, ceramic, and wood. Also on offer is a Chinese eggshell porcelain bowl from the Ching Dynasty. Eggshell porcelain is very light and usually colored in pure white, characterized by an extremely thin body under the glaze. This bowl features nine dragons on a vibrant yellow background. To explore these lots and register to bid, visit Invaluable
