Native Americans have used art as a form of expression for thousands of years. They are known for their pottery, baskets, jewelry, beadwork, dolls, paintings. They drew their inspiration from their spirituality and from mother nature. From using rocks and clay to express themselves to using turquoise, silver, glass and fabric materials, it was a way of life for them. So, the art they created is often made to honor or to protect others, incorporating symbols or objects that involve nature, such as the moon, the sun, bears and birds. The art and the tools have also evolved over time, and the Native American Jewelry Auction by Whitley’s Auctioneers pays homage to their past and present.
A piece that reflects Native American history is a framed picture of Geronimo in a Headdress at Fort Marion, circa 1890. Enjoy a reproduction of a ceremonial breastplate armor made of three hardened tanned leather pieces and decorated with carved horn, bells, colorful beads and fringe trim or a Native American bow and quiver made with fur and feather accents. A limited-edition print of a silhouetted boy with his guardian eagle spirit in a wooded red mahogany stained frame is also available.
Among the jewelry, in the auction, is a beautiful Mark Chee armband handmade using a single large piece of turquoise along with a pair of elegant triangular-shaped Navajo earrings made of sterling silver and white buffalo turquoise.

The Summer auction of Modern & Contemporary Art, offered by Morton Subastas, is a single-night auction consisting of paintings, drawings and sculptures from Mexico and Latin America. Among the most valuable pieces offered is a small, haunting work by Sergio Hernández, in which the ghostly figures seem to be spiriting toward the viewer. Hernández is a Mexican postwar, contemporary painter born in 1957. His work has been featured in many museums including Palazzo delle Esposizioni and the Latino Art Museum, and two of his paintings can be found here.
In contrast, a more playful drawing (though admittedly disturbing at first glance) by Lalo Sánchez del Valle, is titled “Psico Van Gogh” (which translates “Psycho Van Gogh”). It is a reinterpretation of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe”. The original was painted while Van Gogh was institutionalized and after he had attempted to cut off his own ear. This new version is unmistakable in its use of the original as source material, but shows the face of a man no longer in touch with reality, alarmingly bringing the artists inner turmoil to the surface.
Also featured is a large panoramic landscape-style painting comprised of 15 total pieces of oil on wood. The full work measures 2.75 x 10.20 meters, and vividly demonstrates a kind of distorted realism that is both attractive and disorienting. The auction further includes a fine selection of self-portraits by varied Latinx artists such as José Luis Cuevas, Carlos Orozco Romero, Ana Mercedes Hoyos, and Arnaldo Roche-Rabell.

Proper tools can often be the difference between success and failure. For many businesspeople, acquiring a vehicle is the first and most important tool. Morton Cars and Trucks, the automotive division of Morton Subastas, works hard to offer a collection of vehicles suitable for every business’ needs. Their upcoming Global Gas vehicle auction offers a number of reasonably priced work vehicles that, with some maintenance, would meet the needs of many different industries.
The majority of available vehicles are trucks manufactured by Ford and Chevrolet. These trucks are chassis-cab, preparing them for more specialized uses. Notable vehicles include a 2001 International 4900 Tandem. This particular truck has some wear and tear and is missing a battery but appears to be in good condition. It would work well for businesses regularly hauling heavy or large loads. For those looking for a car rather than a truck, a 2002 Nissan Tsuru may be the right choice. Each vehicle in this auction will require additional maintenance after purchase. They are, therefore, priced accordingly. View the remaining vehicles and register to bid on Bidsquare today

The beetle has interiors just as thought-out as its unusual exterior. 1930 Monte Carlo is a classic French style roster, a five-passenger club sedan with blind rear quarters and a low roofline. In contrast to all of the vintage, Ford’s second-generation GT edges out the competition. Similarly, medley of over 100 lots presented in Bonhams Auction will get you geared up.

In the 20th Century, designers such as Ico Parisi, Alexander Girard, and Charles and Ray Eames, reminded people that art need not simply be displayed in a frame, it can appear in everyday objects. The Mass Modern auction, presented by Wright, offers the work of the Eames partners, Parisi, Girard, and other important 20th and 21st Century designers. There is no reserve on lots in this auction, meaning collectors have a chance to get one or more pieces at an exceptionally low cost.
A custom library by Italian designer and architect Ico Parisi is among the most notable lots. In his time, Parisi was one of the most important Italian furniture designers and had a clear Modernist aesthetic. The library was designed for an apartment in Como, Italy, and features both upper and lower cabinets, a desk with one concealed drawer, and a rolling trolley. A set of tableware by Alexander Girard is another piece with a high estimated value. The set comes with three mugs and one match strike. The piece was discussed at length in the 2011 book “Alexander Girard” by Todd Oldham and Kiera Coffee.
One of the most visually striking pieces in the auction is a classy lounge chair by Charles and Ray Eames. They were a married couple and a team of industrial designers. In 1985, The Industrial Designers Society of America named them the most influential designers of the 20th Century for their lifetime accomplishments.
