From the Everyday to the Sublime, Important Design Available With Auctions at Showplace

Andy Warhol once said of Campbell’s Soup, the subject of some of his most well-known Pop Art pieces: “I used to drink it. I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.” The original Campbell’s works were all hand-painted and hand-stamped. Soon after they were shown, Warhol began to use the photo-silkscreen process that became a signifier of his work. One of Andy Warhol’s tomato soup can silkscreens (numbered 44 / 250) is featured in the upcoming Important Fine Art and Design sale, offered by Auctions at Showplace.

Also in the catalog is a selection of collectible jewelry and watches, including a Vacheron Constantin Overseas chronograph wristwatch with a blue dial, a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust watch, a Cartier-style 18-karat gold panther head bracelet, and more. Some of the featured furniture pieces in the sale include a Gio Ponti for Singer modern walnut double dresser, a pair of Pedro Friedeberg modern chairs in the shape of a hand, and several George Nelson Herman Miller bedroom set pieces.
