Quality Works From Savannah, GA Estate Available at Everard Auctions and Appraisals

Over 300 lots of fine and decorative art will soon be available in Everard Auctions and Appraisals’ Property from the Tenenbaum Estate and Other Owners sale. This live event will begin on June 27, 2024. It particularly features the collection of Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum, former residents of Savannah, Georgia. Prominent members of Savannah’s business and philanthropic communities, the Tenenbaums were also lovers of art and travel. 

Among the top lots in this event is an open wood sculpture from American artist Bud Latven, from the Tenenbaum collection (lot #875; estimate: USD $2,500 – $3,500). This cone-shaped piece is dated 1999 and is composed of layered pieces of wood in different shades. Latven is a noted woodworker who specializes in the segmented turning technique, used to make furniture and decorative artworks. The offered form stands over eight inches tall and 14 inches wide.

Another key item from the Tenenbaum estate is a painting by Jimmy Lee Sudduth (lot #880; estimate: $1,500 – $2,500). Titled Bicycle Man, this imaginative work places a yellow and blue-clad man atop an enormous bicycle. The bright colors pop against a deep black background. Sudduth was a folk artist of Fayette, Alabama. He was best known for his finger paintings and use of unusual household materials in his paintings, including mud, sugar, and caulk. 

The Tenenbaums also collected contemporary art, which is well-represented in the upcoming auction. Heather McGill’s untitled mixed media wall sculpture is particularly notable (lot #876; estimate: $3,000 – $5,000). This sleekly modern work is composed of stainless steel, lacquer, aluminum, and urethane. 

Beyond fine art, interested bidders will find fine housewares, printed materials, and autographs. A group of eight sterling silver table articles (lot #874; estimate: $1,000 – $1,500) is presented alongside a 124-piece set of Wedgwood gold Florentine pattern bone china (lot #877; estimate: $800 – $1,200). A portrait of the British royal family from 1958 (lot #1137; estimate: $1,000 – $1,500) and basketballs signed by members of the Los Angeles Lakers from 1987 and 1988 (lots #1064 and #1065; estimate: $800 – $1,200 each) will come up for bid.
