Celebrating 100 Years of Editorial Cartoons and Illustrations
Many collectors are drawn to the restrained style and cultural significance of pen-and-ink editorial cartoons and illustrations. But few have cultivated a grouping as intriguing as the single-owner collection seen in our February 26 History in Pen & Ink: A Century of Cartoons & Illustrations Showcase Auction. Long before the internet, television and, in some cases, even radio, every morning millions of people reached for publications such as Puck magazine, the Los Angeles Herald and the Boston Globe to be informed on current events. This auction features works by famed artists of the day, including Thomas Nast, Rose Cecil O’Neill, Orson Byron Lowell, William H. “Bill” Mauldin and many more.
February 27 Auction Is a Journey Into RETNA’s Creative World
Our RETNA Prints and Works on Paper Part I Showcase Auction, which takes place February 27, features an impressive grouping of prints, paintings and works on paper directly from the studio of RETNA, the celebrated Los Angeles-based street artist. Born Marquis Lewis, 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.

Mort Künstler: A Legacy in Art, A Life Well Lived
On February 2, the art world lost one of its great visual storytellers. Mort Künstler, a New York native who went from illustrating action-packed scenes for adventure magazines to becoming one of the most respected artists of American history, passed away at the age of 97. A man of remarkable talent and boundless curiosity, Künstler was more than just an artist – he was a force of nature and a keen observer of humanity. In the most recent issue of Intelligent Collector, our Vice President of American Art, Aviva Lehmann, looks back on her friendship with the artist and the legacy he leaves behind.
Mr. Brainwash, Shepard Fairey, KAWS and More Star in Urban Art Auction
Our March 5 Urban Art Showcase Auction includes an array of works from artists such as RETNA, Mr. Brainwash, Shepard Fairey and KAWS . Also featured is a special collection from Dr. Lauren Levy. Dr. Levy has been an avid collector of vinyl toys for over two decades, starting with Dunnies, Bounty Hunter figures and works by artists like KAWS, James Jarvis and Frank Kozik. Dr. Levy’s passion for collecting was inspired by her mother, a contemporary British art collector who was drawn to KAWS and encouraged her daughter to seek out his work. Highlights include the KAWS collab with Star Wars, the Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket figures and the selection of Chums.

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.
