Joan Miró Equilibre sur l'horizon, 1969
One of my favorite works in this sale is Miró's Equilibre sur l'horizon because it really reflects his interest in spontaneity. The composition features biomorphic shapes, thin linear elements, and a careful balance of color and space, evoking a sense of weightlessness or precarious harmony. The title suggests a metaphysical tension, a poetic stance between earth and sky, or chaos and calm—consistent with Miró's fascination with the invisible energies of the universe. This work, like many of his later pieces, shows the influence of Surrealism's legacy filtered through Miró's increasingly reductive, yet deeply imaginative, visual language.
Patrick Nagel Seated Man, circa 1981
"Seated Man " by Patrick Nagel is a lithograph that reflects the stylistic and cultural sensibilities of the early 1980s. Best known for his iconic depictions of women, Nagel rarely portrayed men, making this piece a notable exception in his oeuvre. The work exemplifies his signature style—clean lines, flat planes of color, and a graphic aesthetic influenced by Art Deco, Japanese ukiyo-e, and commercial illustration. "Seated Man" captures the era's fascination with fashion, power, and image, aligning with the growing emphasis on masculine style and consumer culture during the Reagan era. Created during Nagel's collaboration with Playboy and his work with Mirage Editions, the lithograph also represents a period when the boundaries between fine art and commercial art were increasingly blurred. As such, the piece stands as both a product and a commentary on 1980s visual culture.
Sean Scully Durango 2, 1991
This print is another favorite in this auction. Named after the region of Durango, this engraving evokes a deep sense of place and memory through its earthy palette and layered surfaces. It is instantly recognizable as Scully and emphasizes both physical presence and emotional resonance. Durango 2 balances order and imperfection, precision and gesture, embodying Scully's interest in the humanizing of abstraction and the spiritual potential of repetition.

Richard Lindner Girl with Hoop, from Fun City, 1971
Richard Lindner was born in Hamburg, Germany. His mother, Mina Lindner, was American—born in New York to German immigrant parents. Interestingly, in 1905 she moved her young family to Nuremberg, where she owned and operated a custom-fitting corset business. This perhaps offers some insight into Lindner's enduring fascination with eroticism in his artwork, particularly his depictions of women with exaggerated curves. As a young adult, due to his Jewish heritage from both parents, Lindner was forced to flee to Paris in 1933 and travel to New York to escape Nazi persecution. It wasn't until the age of 40 that Lindner began his career as an artist in New York. His bold, erotic, and cartoonish imagery came to define the visual culture of the 1960s and 1970s, echoing the work of contemporaries such as Tomi Ungerer, Heinz Edelmann (notably of Yellow Submarine fame), and Peter Max. Lindner drew inspiration from the sexual symbolism in advertising and critically explored the media's portrayal of gender roles. His portraits of women illustrate the erotic side of the sexual revolution of the 1960s/1970s and remind me of the more sedate yet powerful female forms found even in - and dare I say - the work of Gaston Lachaise (1882-1935).

Salvador Dalí Rhinocéros habillé en dentelles, 1956
Salvador Dalí's Rhinocéros habillé en dentelles created in 1956, exemplifies the artist's surrealist fascination with transformation and absurdity. The sculpture presents a rhinoceros—an animal Dalí associated with divine geometry—adorned in delicate lace, blending the themes of strength and fragility. This is the perfect juxtaposition of Dalí's playful yet profound exploration of contrasting forms and symbolic meaning.

Alex Katz Reclining Figure, Indian Blanket, 1987
In Indiana Blanket, Alex Katz captures a moment of radiant stillness, where light, pattern, and presence converge in perfect balance. The reclining woman rests against a backdrop of bold pattern emphasized with bright crimson, evoking the comforting weight and warmth of a woven blanket. The scene is bathed in sunlight, with soft highlights kissing her cheekbones and forehead, as if she's stretched out beneath a desert sun. Katz's signature flatness doesn't diminish the intimacy—it enhances it, allowing the interplay of shadow and color to speak volumes. The figure is calm, almost statuesque, held in a moment that feels timeless and golden. In Indiana Blanket, warmth is both visual and emotional: a celebration of quiet beauty, soft light, and the gentle gravity of rest.
Stanley William Hayter Combat sous marin, 1957, printed 1968
In Combat sous marin, Stanley William Hayter demonstrates his virtuosic command of engraving, combining intricate burin work with bold color intaglio techniques to orchestrate a scene of underwater tension and motion. The composition is a dense, kinetic web of interlaced lines, each one carved with precision to create depth, rhythm, and directional energy. Hayter overlays these complex linear structures with areas of vivid color, burnt orange and icy turquoise, achieved through meticulously registered color plates and aquatint. The plate work pushes the limits of traditional engraving, reflecting the experimental spirit of Atelier 17, the collaborative printmaking studio Hayter founded, which became a crucible for modernist innovation. The resulting image is both technically rigorous and visually explosive: a study in motion, conflict, and submerged power, where abstraction becomes a vessel for sensation and psychological charge.

New: Financing Now Available Heritage now offers extended payment plan options up to 6 months to qualified, pre-approved clients on select items. See more details here.
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.
