Palm Beach Modern Auctions Presents Modern & Contemporary Art & Design

An engagement with minimalism and pop art is a defining characteristic of Richard Artschwager’s sculptures, drawings, and paintings. A deadpan wit permeates his sculptures and installations, leaving a pleasant and destabilizing sense of dissonance in the viewer. The upcoming Modern & Contemporary Art & Design sale, offered by Palm Beach Modern Auctions, will feature Richard Artschwager’s “Door” Sculpture. It is a noteworthy relief sculpture in Formica on wood with metal hardware. Artschwager’s work mimics the aesthetics of a mundane item, bringing to life the legacy created by Marcel Duchamp and René Magritte.

Leading the fine art listings is James Kerr’s unframed oil on canvas painting titled “Turtle Creek.”. The artist’s impressionist paintings portray sunny moments in scenic locales that echo the rich colors of nature, utilizing loose, open brushstrokes. Another noteworthy oil on canvas is attributed to distinguished German/American painter Wolf Kahn. A second-generation New York School artist, Wolf Kahn is known for his fusion of realism and abstract expressionism in his paintings of forests and farmlands. In his signature landscapes, Kahn embraced an evocative aesthetic that was inspired by Henri Matisse and the rural ethos of his Vermont estate.
