Upcoming Sale by Leonard Auction Offers Joan Miró Etching and 1995 American Eagle Proof Bullion Set

The upcoming auction from Leonard Auction features a wide range of fine artworks, furniture, decorative art, Asian antiques, and more. An etching by Joan Miró, titled ‘La Captive’ leads the sale. This aquatint and carborundum etching was created in 1969. Catalan artist and sculptor, Joan Miró was known for combining abstract art with surrealistic imagery. Born on April 20, 1893, in Barcelona, Miró was interested in art from an early age. At the age of 7, he started drawing and in 1907, he enrolled at the Fine Art Academy to study decorative and landscape arts. This etching lithograph procured from a private collector, in Barrington, Illinois is pencil-signed by the artist in the lower margin. 

Another notable lot is the American Eagle bullion set from 1995. In commemoration of ten years of American Eagle coins, the U.S. Mint produced this special five-coin set that includes four gold coins with the face value of $50, $25, $10, and $5 along with one-ounce ($1) silver coin. The gold coins bear effigies of liberty on the obverse while the reverse features American bald eagles. Bidders can also consider a Piaget 18-karat yellow gold bracelet wristwatch. It comes with baton hands and dot indices accentuated by an integrated band. To view the complete catalog of the June Online Auction (Sale #316) sale and find other online auctions, visit Bidsquare.
