Session 1, on Thursday, June 9th, will feature the collection of Ruth West, plus additional modern art lots – including modernism, folk art and outsider art - plus important works by Kara Walker, Thornton Dial, Alice Neel, Howard Finster and other noted artists, with plenty of discovery opportunities for local and upcoming Georgia artists – 361 lots in all. The screenprint on paper by Kara Walker (N.Y., b. 1969), titled The Emancipation Approximation, Scene 18 (2000), depicts figural silhouettes in white and black on a gray background, and is expected to find a new home for $10,000-$15,000. The 44 inch by 34 inch (paper, less frame), is artist signed and dated, and is editioned "AP 5" on verso. A color lithograph on paper by Alice Neel (American, 1900-1984), titled The Family, depicts a seated mother and her three children. It's editioned "76/175" at lower left and is signed and dated lower right. The 31 ½ inch by 26 ½ inch work (sight, less frame) should reach $3,000-$6,000. The Neel and Walker works are both from the Ruth West collection. Another star lot in Session 1 promises to be a patinated bronze sculpture by British artist Sophie Ryder (b. 1963), titled Minotaur Sniffing a Daisy (1989). As the title implies, the sculpture depicts a minotaur sniffing a daisy, while standing on an industrial cog form base. It's 22 ½ inches tall, signed to the base and marked "8/12" (est. $10,000-$15,000) Live, in-person previews will be held June 6-8, from 10-5 all three days, in the Ahlers & Ogletree showroom, located at 700 Miami Circle in Atlanta.
