RETNA's Universe: Significant Works and Objects From the Trailblazing Artist's Studio
The artist RETNA, whose name is nearly synonymous with the ever-evolving art scene of downtown Los Angeles, occupied a large studio in the city for more than a recent decade that served not only as his laboratory but also as a testament to his passions and process. On January 30, we present the contents of his studio in our RETNA: Signs and Symbols Part 1 Urban Art Signature® Auction. The impressive selection of RETNA's prints, prime-career paintings and works on paper offers fans and collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dive into the artist's inner world. Highlights include works such as 2013's Streamlines; this untitled acrylic, spray paint and thread on canvas; and this monochrome mixed media work on wood panel.
Love In Focus: February 11 Auction Spotlights the Work of Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana's career was defined by his unique fusion of commercial art and fine art, with his work often carrying deep personal and cultural significance. As a key figure in the Pop Art movement, Indiana's style was marked by bold colors, graphic simplicity and the use of everyday symbols. His most iconic creation, LOVE, became a powerful emblem of affection and hope and evolved into a symbol of peace and unity that resonated worldwide. In our February 11 Love In Focus: Robert Indiana Showcase Auction, we have a selection of his iconic LOVE pieces along with a couple of works on paper and a wide selection of his other iconic images such as HOPE, the NUMBERS portfolio and images from the American Dream #5.

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.
