April 15 Auction Spotlights the Work of Graffiti Artist LA2
Graffiti Legends: The Art of LA2 offers a vibrant look into the work of Angel Ortiz, the renowned New York City graffiti artist better known as LA2. A self-taught artist who began tagging the streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side as a child, Ortiz quickly gained recognition for his signature “LA2” tag. His energetic linework and bold aesthetic led to collaborations with some of the most celebrated artists of the 1980s, including Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Our April 15 auction highlights a dynamic selection of LA2’s work across various media, from canvases to artfully adorned found objects including racing helmets, vases, musical instruments and street signage.
The Sophisticated Palate of Frederick H. Schrader
In addition to producing one of the world’s finest Cabernet Sauvignons – first with Colgin Cellars, then with Schrader Cellars – Fred Schrader has been an art dealer and collector since the 1970s, and he has traveled the world in pursuit of treasures. On April 17, we will present nearly 300 of the collector’s remarkable finds in our Sophisticated Palate: Fine & Decorative Arts from the Collection of Frederick H. Schrader, Napa Valley Signature® Auction. Among the gems on offer are a rare Spanish Colonial chased repoussé silver low table from the 18th century, a 160-piece Garrard & Co. Ltd partial gilt silver flatware service and a 16th-century Italian carved sandstone figure of a mermaid.
From Abstracts to Pop Art, Spring Prints & Multiples Auction Offers Something for Every Collector
Whether you are drawn to the bold pop imagery of Andy Warhol, the elegant modernism of Pablo Picasso or the luminous abstraction of Richard Diebenkorn, our April 22 Prints & Multiples Signature® Auction presents an excellent opportunity to expand your collection with museum-quality works. Pop Art enthusiasts will enjoy Warhol’s Truck, while ceramics fans will fancy Picasso’s Figure de Proue. Sculpture lovers, on the other hand, will want to pick up Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog, and abstract admirers will want to take a closer look at Diebenkorn’s High Green, Version I. Meanwhile, fans of nostalgia will appreciate Wayne Thiebaud’s Candy Apples and Chocolates.
April 24 Auction Offers RETNA Prints and Works on Paper Directly From the Artist’s Studio
The celebrated Los Angeles-based street artist RETNA has gained international recognition for his unique visual language, often described as a fusion of hieroglyphics, calligraphy and typography. RETNA’s work has transformed public spaces with striking murals and extended his influence into the worlds of fashion and design through collaborations with major fashion houses and global brands, solidifying his status as one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time. On April 24, our RETNA Prints and Works on Paper Part III Showcase Auction will feature an impressive grouping of prints, paintings and works on paper directly from the artist’s studio.

Star lots include works by Dmitri Baltermants, Frantisek Drtikol and Eugene Durieu.

Illustration Art Auction Is Where the Sendaks Are
On May 2, during our Illustration Art Signature® Auction, we are pleased to offer a special selection of works from the Maurice Sendak: 50 Years, 50 Works, 50 Reasons exhibition organized by New York’s AFA Gallery that traveled across North America for over a decade. Each is a piece of Sendak’s world and a bridge back to childhood. Here, the iconic characters endure, as does the legacy of the artist himself, crossing time and space with singular, timeless magic. Highlights include final poster art for the Brooklyn Children’s Museum and the John F. Kennedy Center, as well as a set design concept painting for the 1982 Glyndebourne Festival production of The Love for Three Oranges.

Website Tips: Bid Protection
Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction. Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed.

Gil Kane's First Appearance of The Spider-Woman, Netting a Record $690,000, Wraps Up Heritage's $18.5 Million Comics & Comic Art Auction
Just two months after setting the record for the most valuable Spider-Man cover ever sold at auction, Heritage returned to the block April 3-6 with a Comics & Comic Art event stuffed full of treasures spanning the medium’s history — including another historic cover that this time broke the record for artist Gil Kane: Specifically, his original artwork for the cover of Marvel Spotlight No. 32 which introduced “Mighty Marvel’s Newest Sensation” then known as The Spider-Woman. The work sold for $690,000 — a triumph for the debut artwork of a character created initially to protect Marvel’s copyright, as Stan Lee feared DC might put its spin on one of his most famous characters.
