Robinhood Auctions Brings 1,000+ Works by Andy Warhol, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and More

Over 1,000 lots of fine paintings, prints, posters, and multiples will soon come to auction with Robinhood Auctions in the Contemporary and Classic Masterpieces. Scheduled for Nov 21, 2024, the sale includes work by leading contemporary and modern artists, including Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, and Marc Chagall. 

One top lot of this sale is a skateboard triptych by Andy Warhol, titled Howdy Doody (lot #336; estimate: $2,112 – $2,640). The vividly colored “Dollar Sign” series by Andy Warhol depicts stylized dollars expressing the artist’s perspective on commerce and art. As if scribbled on a receipt or lifted from a sketchpad, Warhol’s “Dollar Signs” are made using several silkscreens to create a textured look. He enlarges the “$” on a dollar bill to create an archetypal sign, creating a series linking art and money. The auction will also feature several other works by Warhol, including a silkscreen version of the artist’s Flowers 11.66 from Sunday B. Morning (lot #347; estimate: $600 – $750), and a Classic Marilyn Portfolio, a suite of 10 Silkscreen prints from Sunday B Morning (lot #787; estimate: $6,684 – $8,355).

Another notable work in the catalog is a limited-edition colorful lithograph on paper of Marc Chagall’s Le Bouquet Devant La Fenetre (lot #132; estimate: $1,332 – $1,665).  This mezuzah features a silkscreen image of a window depicting the youngest of Jacob’s sons, the Tribe of Benjamin, an interpretation of 12 stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall. It comes in a 24-K gold-plated bronze housing with a full-color silkscreen.  There is a replica of the signature of Mark Chagall on the case and the silkscreen.

Several pieces by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso are on offer, including a lithograph on paper painting from the artist’s Carnet de Californie Series (lot #600; estimate: $1,416 – $1,770). Pablo Picasso permitted the publication of a sketchbook from his collection by Editions Cercle d’Art in 1959. Consequently, the original Picasso sketchbook was reproduced in a limited edition under the name Carnet de la Californie.

Beyond fine art, this sale will feature artist David Gershtein’s Easy Runner, a free-standing sculpture (lot #45; estimate: $184 – $230). The Easy Runner embodies the ideal urban figure, effortlessly running along a city’s streets, breathing lightly, unaware of the people around him. David Gerstein created a new line of walkers after years of observing and studying big city crowds. This sculpture is free-standing and laser-cut on steel. 

Additional lots of interest in this sale include: 

• Pablo Picasso’s La Comedie Humaine 26.1.54, a framed lithograph on paper (Lot# 656; estimate: $1,692 – $2,115)
• Salvador Dali’s Inferno 17, a color woodcut on b.f.k. rives paper (Lot# 696; estimate: $1,485 – $1,856.25)
