January Fine Art & Antique Auction

Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers’ upcoming January Fine Art & Antique Auction features Bohemian and Austrian glass, various etchings and prints, historical telephones, figural lamps from a Long Island collection, and more. The sale will also offer Asian art and antiques, including estate jewelry, sculpture, and Japanese robes.

Rising to the top of the auction is a Cubist horse painting by M.F. Husain. Known as the “Picasso of India,” Husain began his career painting movie posters and billboards. By the 1940s, he became a prominent figure within Indian art circles. Most of his paintings favor the Modernist movement. The offered piece depicts two blue horses galloping beneath a monochromatic sky and purple sun. Another painting highlighted in the sale is a Modernist portrait of a Hindu figure by Ganesh Pyne. Taking inspiration from mythology and dreams, Pyne’s works are often dark, unsettling, and devoid of primary colors. Other notable lots include an abstract bronze spirit sculpture by Joel Perlman and a rare collection of photos from the Freedom 7 Mercury project. The photos feature both Lieutenant Commander Forster and the first man in space, Alan Shepherd. Explore the full listings and register to bid online on Bidsquare.
