Sarasota Estate Auction Set to Offer Paul Jenkins Painting, Knoll Saarinen Tulip Table, and More

Paul Jenkins pioneered his approach to Abstract Expressionism by moving wet paint on the surface of his work by tilting the canvas, allowing color to move and pool. An example of his work is up for bid during Day One of the May Fine Art, Antiques, Jewelry & Silver Auction offered by Sarasota Estate Auction. The first session of the sale features modern design, fine art and antiques, while Day Two particularly highlights jewelry and silver. The art in the sale represents a wide variety of periods and styles, including more Abstract Expressionism by Syd Solomon, several examples of Highwayman landscapes by Florida artist James Andrew “Harold” Newton, a color lithograph by Pablo Picasso, and a group of mixed media works by Peter Max.

Beyond art, there are decorative and furniture items such as a Knoll Saarinen “Tulip” vintage dining table signed by the designer, a Victor Vasarely sculpture, a bronze Tiffany & Co. clock, and more. Other items of interest are original posters for several movies such as Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, Jaws, and Paper Moon; handwritten letters signed by historical figures such as Daniel Webster and Mark Twain; a collection of 35 Striker lighters; and antique candelabras, chandeliers, rings, and dinner plates.
