Nye & Company's Estate Treasures Auction, May 27-28, is for those who love fine and decorative arts

BLOOMFIELD, N.J. - May 8, 2020 - PRLog -- A late spring auction just after Memorial Day offers an eclectic mix of fine and decorative arts with a focus on modern art and traditional European and American furniture. The Estate Treasures Auction, Part 1 and 2, is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, May 27^th and 28^th by Nye & Company Auctioneers, online-only, starting both days at 10 am Eastern time.

Internet bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and the Nye & Company website (www.nyeandcompany.com).

"In accordance with the New Jersey State mandate, we cannot open our doors to the public," said Andrew Holter of Nye & Company Auctioneers. "However, we plan to deliver clients a seamless online experience, where we will strive to deliver accurate condition reports and images for all the items we offering.  We will be closely monitoring our info@nyeandcompany.com account, as well as the LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable platforms."

The auction is headlined by two small, but choice, consignments of modern art.  The first is a group of three Keith Haring subway drawings from the estate of a private collector who was heavily involved in New York City's fashion and art worlds during the late '70s and '80s.  The person lived, breathed and was wholly immersed in the downtown New York art scene.

"This collector is the only person who has owned the drawings being offered in the sale," Mr. Holter remarked.  "These iconic works are highly collectible and exude the blending of both pop art and street/graffiti art that Haring made so popular in 80s.  These works have not been restored and remain in the same state as the day they were removed from the subway walls.  This is a unique opportunity to acquire works from a collector that traveled in the same social and artistic circles as Keith Haring."

The second consignment of modern art is equally as tantalizing: three Henry Moore plaster maquettes, also consigned by a private collector.  "These particular sculptures were given directly from Moore to Martha Spencer, who worked at Perry Green, which was Moore's atelier," Mr. Holter said. "The maquettes passed from Spencer to her daughter and were acquired directly from Spencer's daughter. Each piece is a unique work of art and were not cast. Moore's modern interpretation of the female form is fluid, sensual and delightfully austere. These dynamic pieces are truly a symphony of curves."
