Over 500 Lots of Russian and International Fine Arts and Antiques at our November 19, 2011 Auction
The date of the final semi-annual action of the year held by Gene Shapiro Auctions LLC, a firm specializing in Russian fine and decorative arts has been set for 10 am, November 19, 2011. Russian + International Art & Antiques will be the fourth auction to take place at the house's new headquarters at 506 East 74 Street, New York, just two blocks north of Sotheby's. With over 550 lots the sale will be the largest in the company's history, and will be preceded by a week-long preview exhibition of the works, allowing the perspective clients and art lovers to interact with the works before placing a bid.As in the past, the auction will include items from the 16th to the 21st century, and will cover a large range of categories – from Cossack weapons and Soviet militaria, to European and Russian imperial porcelain. Some of the highlights include spectacular bronzes by Evgeny Lanceray, several works from the Fabergé workshop, paintings by Stepan Kolesnikoff (including pieces from the Vladislav Mayevsky collection), numerous works by Konstantin Korovin, seascapes by Ivan Aivazovsky, and Ilya Zankovsky. A variety of important works by contemporary artists such as Mikhail Roginsky, Komar and Melamid, and Natalia Nesterova will also feature prominently in the auction. As always, works by European old masters, as well as American and Asian artists from a variety of periods will form an integral part of the auction, including a harbor scene by Raoul Dufy, a striking painting by Chuang Che, and a dynamic battle scene by Joseph von Brandt.The sale will include two mesmerizing paintings by Georgi Gabashvili, including the extraordinary oil on canvas, Still Life With Fruit, 1916, which was acquired directly from the artist at the date of production and then later formed a part of a private New York collection before being sold at Sotheby's New York in 2008 (currently estimated at $120,000-150,000). Another striking work by the artist, Campfire, c. 1895, was recently showcased at the From Russia with Love exhibition at the National Arts Club in New York, March 2011 ($60,000-80,000). A precious oil painting, Moonlit Passage in Jupille, 1911, signed and dated by Ivan Pokhitonov is also available for sale ($25,000-30,000). The work has been included in an exhibition of works by the artist at the State Tretyakov Gallery in 1963, Ivan Pavlovich Pokhitonov: 1850-1923, was included in a variety of publications, and will form a part of the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Pokhitonov's work by Oliver Bertrand.Decorative objects and works of art play a significant part in the auction, and form about a half of the lots available for sale. A delicate nephrite and guilloché enameled kovsh set with diamonds, apparently unmarked, but probably from the Fabergé workshop is a wonderful example of the items one can expect to find ($5,000-7,000). A very similar unmarked kovsh was exhibited as a work by Fabergé at the Metropolitan and the Cleveland Museums of Art, and recently sold at Christie's New York, where it was estimated at $30,000-50,000 and purchased for $41,825.The auction and the preview will take place at 506 East 74 Street, New York, NY, and a detailed full color catalogue as well as bidding forms are available on the company's website/

Russian Art at Auction - An Overview of our April 16th Sale
Gene Shapiro Auctions LLC has announced their Spring Auction of Russian Art will take place on April 16, 2011 during “Russian Art Week” in New York City. Both the auction and a full week of preview exhibition starting on April 9th will take place at the company’s location at 506 East 74th Street, New York, NY 10021, with the auction itself beginning at 10:00 AM New York Time on the 16th. The founder of the company, Gene Shapiro, is upbeat about both the quality and quantity of works that his eponymous firm will be offering, “With rising commodity prices and prominent buying by Russian buyers in the news, many private American collectors decided that now was the time to sell works that have been in their collections for years. As a result, we were able to obtain a lot of great consignments for this auction.” Indeed, on offer at Gene Shapiro will be more than 400 lots of paintings, bronzes, icons, enamel, silver, porcelain, rare books and maps, swords and militaria, posters, and works on paper, most of which are fresh to the market.While Gene Shapiro has always sought to include Russian applied and decorative arts and “works of art” in his auctions along with fine arts such as paintings and sculpture, the auction house has significantly widened the breadth of its offerings in this respect. Shapiro notes, “We wanted to have something for everybody in this auction – from collectors of antique icons, to rare books, to buyers of Imperial Russian porcelain. We were helped greatly in this regard by several significant consignments from American families whose grandparents were buying and importing artworks from Russia in the 1930s. One of these collections came from the family of Dr. Adolphus Rumreich, who served as the physician at the United States Embassy in Moscow from 1935-1938. While there, he and his wife, Edna Irene Hall Rumreich, assembled a sizeable collection of Russian pre-revolutionary art and books then being sold by the Soviet government. They often accompanied American Ambassador to the Soviet Union Joseph Davies and his wife, Marjorie Merriweather Post , the most prominent American collectors of Russian artworks of the 20th Century, when they visited Torgsin and other Soviet agencies selling antiques to foreign dignitaries. Another American collection including important sets of Imperial Porcelain and early 19th and 18th Century icons was consigned by a family whose Grandfather was a diplomat in the Italian Embassy to the Soviet Union during the 1930s, and who was actively acquiring Russian works of art during his time in Moscow. Amongst the rare and exceptional works of art from these two private collections are a rare 18th Century icon depicting the lives and works of Saint Nikolai Chudotvorets and Saint Christopher with elaborate basmany oklad ($5,000-6,000), a collection of 82 pieces of Imperial Porcelain from the Babigon Service, with both Nicholas I and Nicholas II hallmarks ($30,000-40,000); a very finely painted 19th Century Porcelain Tea Service by the Popov Factory ($8,000-12,000); volumes II and IV from Nikolai Kutepov’s “Tsarskaya Okhota Na Rusi” ($4,000-6,000 each), and an intricately carved wooden presentation dish from the K. Sholtz Workshop in Moscow made in 1902 ($4,000-6,000)Apart from these two family collections, Gene Shapiro is also excited to offer for the first time at auction an exquisite collection of superbly preserved examples of Imperial headgear, most from the Life-Guards regiments at the height of the Russian Empire’s splendor. Highlights from this collection include an extremely rare Russian Imperial Nicholas I era parade “misiurka” helmet of his Imperial Majesty’s own Caucasian-Mountains’ Life-Guards Half-Squadron konvoi escort ($30,000-40,000), as well as an exceedingly rare Russian Imperial cap of a bombardier regiment’s officer from 1775, during the reign of Catherine the Great ($20,000-25,000).The quality and rarity of the decorative arts in the auction do not come at the expense of the paintings and artworks offered in the auction, either. A rare oil on canvas by Gustav Klucis, with expertise from the Tretyakov Museum, depicting a seated abstract nude, is estimated at $200,000-300,000. Two paintings by the important Russian émigré artist Abraham Manievich from a private American collection, one of a Town View ($20,000-25,000) and the other an oil on canvas of a Winter Scene ($15,000-20,000) are prominently featured and highly accomplished works by the artist. Likewise, a 1948 portrait by the important futurist artist David Burliuk with characteristic bravura brushwork and vibrant palette goes on the block with an estimate of $30,000-40,000. Other works in the sale include paintings by well-known Russian painters such as Vladimir Aralov, Eugene and Leonid Berman, Mikhail Guzhavin, Stepan Kolesnikoff, Alexei Korzukhin, Alexander Makovsky, Konstantin Makovsky, Sacha Moldovan, Pavel Naumov, Vassili Polenov, Jean Pougny, Sergei Soudeikine, Feodor Sychkov, Pavel Tchelitchew, Alexandra Venetsianova, Ilya Zankowski, and Richard Karlovich Zommer.Contemporary artworks by the well-known names of Russian Contemporary Art also play a significant role in the auction. From the family of a private American collector who was purchasing works in the 1980s and 1990s, comes a large-scale oil on canvas by Leonid Purygin (1951-1996) depicting the artist crossing the Atlantic Ocean to visit the Metropolitan Museum in New York (Estimate: $30,000-40,000). From the same collection, is another large work by Vyacheslav Kalinin, “Girl from Playboy,” which was exhibited at the retrospective exhibition of the artist at Nakhamkin Fine Arts in the 1980s and illustrated in the catalog accompanying the exhibition ($20,000-30,000). Two delicately painted and impressive works by Mikahil Shvartsman (“The House of Usher”) and another, untitled but equally as visually arresting work, are offered at $25,000-35,000 each. Other works in the auction by prominent Russian contemporary artists include those by artists including Alexander Arefiev, Vagrich Bakhchanyan, Grisha Bruskin, Eduard Gorokhovsky, Ilya Kabakov, Vasily Kafanov, Valery Koshlyakov, Dmitry Krasnopevtsev, Lev Meshberg, Vyacheslav Mikhailov, Evgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko, Tatiana Nazarenko, Natalia Nesterova, Shimon Okshteyn, Boris Orlov, Dmitry Plavinsky, Alexander Roitburd, Mikhail Roginsky, Vladimir Shagin, Mikhail Shvartsman, Leonid Sokov, Boris Sveshnikov, Nikolai Vechtomov, and Anatoly Zverev.As always, there will be several choice lots of European, American, and Latin American works complementing Gene Shapiro’s auction, such as a rare Lynn Chadwick bronze from the Elektra series, a striking op-art piece from the prominent Colombian artist Omar Rayo, and an early assemblage of paint tubes by the French-American conceptualist Arman. Other works non-Russian but highly sought-after artists in the auction include those by Gonzalo Ariza, Christian Berard, Narcisse Diaz de la Pena, Chaim Gross, Jean Jansem, Paul Lemagny, Reuvin Rubin, Arthur Szyk, Victor Vasarely, and Alexander Helwig Wyant. Regarding the inclusion of these works into a “Russian Art Auction,” Shapiro says, “While our emphasis is and always has been Russian art, great art transcends national boundaries, and many of our buyers share the same appreciation in their choices of what to collect.”
