The 2018 painting Abandoned finds an unlikely beauty in a neglected corner of the urban landscape. Executed in oil on aluminium by the Canadian artist Kim Dorland, the work depicts a boarded-up house overlooking a scruffy lawn and a cracked pathway; but the richness of the paintwork, with a palette enlivened by strokes of vivid pink, gives it a sense of bruised grandeur
Estimate: $5,000-7,000

Allan D’Arcangelo once said that his ‘most profound experiences of landscape were looking through the windshield’. Consequently, the images for which the artist is best known, such as his 1969 print June Moon 1963, feature various aspects of the American highway.

The mind-bending images we associate with M.C. Escher — of impossible spaces and dizzying perspectives — seem to have their roots in his topographical studies. His 1931 print Tropea, Calabria is a true depiction of the Italian town, where the buildings appear to grow out of the rock face; but the angle from which we view it has been artfully chosen to heighten the vertiginous drama of the scene
Estimate: $12,000-18,000
