Angela Cummings became a fixture at Tiffany & Co. in the 1960s. In contrast to Tiffany’s other named designers, who drew inspiration from nature, Cumming’s linear and abstract designs communicate a modernized and feminine appeal. Inlaid jewelry became her specialty, and this deceptively simple gold and enamel bracelet exemplify Cumming’s signature style, with the serenity of line between the black and gold materials accentuating the curvaceous geometries of the bracelet’s links.

Pierce MacGuire, formerly of Schlumberger at Tiffany & Company, once regarded Féron as an "extraordinary genius and a master of goldsmithing." Notably, Féron created his own tools, using them to carefully hammer and sculpt his impressive, artful jewelry designs.

36 VAN CLEEF & ARPELS 18K Gold, Platinum, 'Mystery-Set' Ruby, and Diamond Leaf Brooch France; ca. 1935; the platinum leaf mystery-set with baguette-cut diamonds; surmounted by five overlapping leaves mystery-set with square-, rectangular-, and fancy-shaped rubies; signed and numbered Van Cleef & Arpels 46258; French assay marks; 22.57 dwts.; lg. 3 3/8 in.; wd. 1 3/4 in. $70,000–100,000 Provenance: Property of a distinguished American Family. Van Cleef & Arpels invented the mystery setting in 1935. The design demands perfectly matched stones, hand-cut with four additional facets, to obscure the metal settings with dazzling reflections. The secret behind the alluring invisible setting is the net framework on the underside of each piece, enabling Van Cleef & Arpels to spectacularly model any form or movement. The technique lends itself brilliantly to depicting natural forms, exemplified by this striking ruby and diamond brooch.

Following his death in 1917, Rene’s wife Jeanne Boivin maintained his imaginative compositions of colorful gemstones. The eldest Boivin daughter, Germaine, inherited her parents' sense of design and play of color as seen with the combination of pink tourmalines, amethysts, and green demantoid garnets. This brooch was designed by Germaine, for her mother, on her 80th birthday. It is completed by an accordion plaque bearing the designers, bench jewelers, and those who worked closely with Maison Boivin. JEWELRY

Patek released the original Calatrava Ref. 96 dress watch in 1932, which stood out against their peers’ octagonal and cushion-shaped faces. The subsequent Calatrava models, including Ref. 3420 maintained the clean, Bauhaus-inspired form. The clarity of the Calatrava’s circular movement, cream face, and round case complements the slim profile made possible by the extremely thin antimagnetic caliber manual winding movement that powers the clock.

She was born into a family of artists (her father was the noted painter J. Foxcroft Cole), and she studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts under Edmund Tarbell and Frank W. Benson. She had a talent for painting women and children, as the fluent brushstrokes, soft colors, and composition of graceful postures in The Two Alices demonstrates. When describing her technique and mastery of color, a fellow artist described Chase’s approach, “much as a woman of taste trims a hat, instinctively.”

Marion Boyd Allen enrolled at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at the age of 36, after displaying artistic talent sketching the Alps on family holidays as a child. Upon receipt of her diploma in 1909-10, Allen focused on portraiture, exhibiting her work widely and garnering critical acclaim for many of her portraits of her female contemporaries. It was not until she traveled West in 1925 (at the age of 63!) that she returned to her longstanding interest in landscape painting. For the next ten years she traveled extensively, from the Grand Canyon to the Canadian Rockies, hiking and camping alone as she painted these remote, awe-inspiring vistas. It was on one of these hiking trips in 1927 that Allen painted this striking view of Moraine Lake in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Rosamond Smith Bouve enrolled at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at the age of 17, winning several awards as a student. She stayed on at the Museum School as a teaching assistant to Philip Leslie Hale, one of only a few women invited to be instructors. After a tour of Europe with several other female students at the Museum School, Bouve moved into studios at Boston's noted Harcourt Building. Following the 1904 Harcourt fire, Bouve moved to the Fenway Studios, where she kept a studio space for the next twenty years. Over this time, her work was included in museum and juried exhibitions around the country.

Upon his return to Boston, Bosley began to paint out of a space in the noted Fenway Studios, and soon became known for his impressionistic portraits of women, often with striking interior backdrops such as the one seen in Girl in Blue.

Gertrude Fiske was an accomplished golfer before she transitioned to painting portraits and landscapes. In 1904, she began her artistic studies at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, ultimately becoming one of only a few artists to complete the entire seven year Museum School course. Throughout these years, Fiske spent her summers studying with Charles Woodbury in Ogunquit, Maine. Woodbury inspired Fiske to “paint in verbs not in nouns,” as can be seen in her bold, painterly approach to this landscape painting of Wells Beach. Fiske’s works are celebrated for their variety in subject matter, originality, and inclusion of modern technology, for instance, the telephone poles in Wells Beach. Fiske won many major prizes for her works, exhibited widely, and was the first woman appointed to the Massachusetts State Art Commission in 1930.

Elizabeth Roberts was a close friend of landscape artist Gertrude Fiske: together, they co–founded the Concord Art Association. Their careers reflect not only the increasing number of women landscape painters in the early twentieth century, but also the changing attitudes at this time concerning women’s physical fitness and independence that enabled them to capture the outdoor scenes.

The newly rediscovered William Merritt Chase painting Port of Antwerp showcases both the artist’s signature technique and palette. The harbor scene, depicted with unfettered brushwork and subtle inflections of blue and grey tones, also speaks to the artist’s ongoing experimentation with plein–air painting throughout his career.

127 DOROTHY ELSIE PEREHUDOFF KNOWLES (Canadian, b. 1927) Waves 1979, acrylic on canvas signed and dated D. Knowles 79 lower right; titled and signed verso 24 x 29 1/2 in., frame: 25 x 31 in. $4,000–6,000 Provenance: The Collection of Guido Goldman, Concord, Massachusetts. Dorothy Knowles, one of Canada’s most respected landscape artists, discovered her skill for subject after attending the famed Emma Lake workshops in the 1950s. It was there where Knowles met her husband and fellow artist, William Perehudoff, as well as the art critic Clement Greenberg, who encouraged Knowles to focus on landscapes and nature. Though largely representational, her paintings have elements of abstraction in the skies and water that complement the areas of intimate detail, such as the grasslands in the foreground of Waves.

128 MARGUERITE ROBICHAUX (American, b. 1950) Carrabassett 2014, oil on linen signed M. Robichaux lower right signed, titled, and dated verso 38 x 52 in., frame: 40 x 54 in. $2,000–4,000 Provenance: The Collection of Guido Goldman, Concord, Massachusetts. Louisiana–born artist Marguerite Robichaux first visited the state of Maine as a student in the 1970s and has since made the woods of Maine her home in the shadow of the Bigelow Mountain Range. This large-scale view of the Carrabassett River exemplifies her mature style. In her own words, “because my work is based upon observed landscape, an obvious influence of ‘the Maine experience’ is beauty and the accessibility of the landscape itself. The terrain of gentle hills, forests and mountains, long vistas, the sky, the quality of light and the abundance of water are gifts to a painter. No less an influence is the grand tradition of Maine landscape painting, which encourages me to find my own voice, to speak of things both sensual and spiritual. To paint.” Her works are included in collections of the Portland Museum of Art, the Farnsworth Museum, and the Ogunquit Museum of American Art among other private and institutional collections. 72

Born in Japan in 1923, Yutaka Ohashi began his studies at Tokyo University of the Arts, before joining the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from 1950–55. He moved to New York in 1959 after receiving a Guggenheim fellowship, and it was in New York that he began a fruitful exchange of ideas with some of the leading Abstract Expressionists. He returned to Japan in 1960 after receiving a second Guggenheim fellowship, and in the same year he produced Chofu No. 2, a work that speaks to his incorporation of Japanese painting traditions with American Abstract Expressionist aesthetics.

134 GRAHAM VIVIAN SUTHERLAND (British, 1903–1980) Untitled 1957, gouache, watercolor, and crayon on paper signed and dated G.S. X.III \ 57 along lower edge sight: 37 x 27 1/2 in., frame: 47 1/2 x 38 in. $25,000–35,000 Provenance: From the artist to Jean Simpson–Baikie, London; to the current owners,1967. After the Second World War, British artist Graham Sutherland incorporated new tonalities and brighter colors into his work. Reflecting on this shift, the artist noted that by 1945, "color became important to me and I found I could use it emotively and arbitrarily." The two works included in this sale exemplify this injection of bright color, particularly in contrast to the sparse instances of color in his earlier pieces. In the decades following the war, Sutherland received several public commissions,

including a Crucifixion for the parish church of St Matthew’s in Northampton (1944) and his celebrated design for the tapestry of Christ in Glory at the new Coventry Cathedral (1962). The ‘duality’ of the Crucifixion fascinated Sutherland, who described it as 'the most tragic of all themes, yet inherent in it is the promise of salvation. It is the symbol of the precarious balanced moment, the hair’s–breadth between black and white.' As an Official War Artist employed to capture the bomb damage in Great Britain, Sutherland’s vision for the Crucifixion was undoubtedly impacted by his wartime experiences and reaction to its aftermath. His realized, life–size Crucifixion was inspired by Matthias Grunewald’s famous Issenhiem altarpiece, rendering an anguished and blistered Christ, as well as contemporary photographs of the dead and starving victims of the Nazi concentration camps. As he worked on these large–scale commissions, Sutherland produced many related works, mediating on religious themes and ‘standing forms,’ including trees and fragments of roots. The dramatic perspective lines, bright palette, and almost cruciform figure of Untiled are reminiscent of the Crucifixion at St Matthew's.

Provenance: The Collection of a California Lady; by descent within her family. Millard Sheets was an American Scene painter, and a leading force behind the California Style watercolor movement. During World War II, Sheets was an artist– correspondent for Life Magazine. This experience deeply impacted his artistic style, as he favored heavy subject matters and dark tonal values in the years following the war. In contrast, his later watercolors, including the present work, relied on vibrant colors, loose flowing forms, and dynamic light distribution to bring to life scenes from the far–flung places he visited.

Remington’s monochromatic watercolors Daring Arrest of Bull Elk - Attempted Rescue by a Mob of Blackfeet and Watering the Horses in a ‘Dobe Hole imply an authentic narrative of an immediate past in their content and their titles. The intensely detailed scenes, heightened by the artist’s fervid inflections of light and shadow, depict the drama of America’s rapidly disappearing western frontier. Reflecting on his first trip West in 1881, Remington wrote, “I was in the grand silent country following my own inclinations, but there was a heavy feel in the atmosphere. I did not immediately see what it portended, but it gradually obtruded itself. The times had changed.” Today, Remington’s chronicles of the Old West evoke an almost retrospective melancholy.

156 ELLEN GALLAGHER (American, b. 1965) Lips & Paper 1993, ink, oil, and collaged paper on canvas 72 x 64 in. $50,000–70,000 Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist by a Cambridge, Massachusetts woman in the early 1990s. After learning about Gallagher at an event at the Institute of Contemporary Art featuring emerging Boston artists, the Cambridge woman visited Gallagher’s studio and purchased this painting. It has hung in her home ever since. Grogan & Company thanks Ellen Gallagher for confirming the title, date, and additional details about her work. Exhibitions: Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Milena Dopitova in Context, January 19 - March 27, 1994 (exhibited alongside works by Lillian Hsu-Flanders, Annette Lemieux, Denise Marika, and Ellen Rothenberg). Ellen Gallagher works in paint, collage, drawing, and film to communicate social commentary. Her canvases layer everyday materials, soft tones, and symbolism drawn from African–American targeted advertisements and caricatures that recall blackface and minstrelsy. In discussing her use of abstracted bodily forms, the artist notes, “What is crucial to my making of a language and a cosmology of signs is the type of repetition that is central to jazz. You start off with a limited class of signs and, like jazz, you revisit and repeat with slight changes and build structure...as these things are repeated and revised they expand–depending on the configuration of characters.” As such, from a distance, paintings in the manner of Lips & Paper read as minimalist and abstract, yet up close the repeating patterns of ink lips, printed on penmanship paper and meticulously laid on canvas, challenge viewers to engage with issues of race and identity. Lips & Paper was created in 1993, following Gallagher's formative summer at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. It was at this time that she began to increase the scale of her paintings and utilize the technique of transfer printing on penmanship paper applied to stretched canvas, as seen in the present work. The artist considers Lips & Paper to be a direct precursor to her 1994 work Afro Mountain, which was included in the 1995 Whitney Biennial and is now in the Whitney's permanent collection.

Provenance: By descent within the family of a private collector. Exhibitions: – The Pace Gallery, New York, Claes Oldenburg/Coosje van Bruggen Large Scale Projects: Drawings and Sculpture, December 2, 1994– January 7, 1995, cat no. 34 (label verso). – Museo Correr, Comune di Venezia–Musei Civici, Oldenburg e Van Bruggen, May 22–October 30, 1999, cat. no. 33 (label verso). – Library of the Boston Athenaeum, From Boston Collections, October 10–December 1, 2007 (label verso).

This watercolor served as the inspiration for a large–scale Oldenburg sculpture referencing Daniel Defoe’s novel Robinson Crusoe (1719), in which a castaway fashions an umbrella from the island’s natural materials to remind himself of the civilization he once knew. In 1978 Claes Oldenburg together with his wife and collaborator Coosje van Bruggen dedicated their careers to creating outdoor, site–specific public sculptures, including their first commission for the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines, Iowa. The realized Crusoe Umbrella, though made of steel, recalls the organic plant forms of the umbrella in Defoe’s novel. Speaking about the design the artists stated, “The umbrella of Crusoe was as structured as it had to be, yet organic in form, made of branches and plants on the island. This image became our point of departure. We wanted to place an exotic element in the midst of prosaic circumstances and turn the center of the continent paradoxically into an island in the sea."

Exhibitions: Library of the Boston Athenaeum, From Boston Collections, October 10–December 1, 2007. The thick, gestural brushstrokes and circular motifs in Adolph Gottlieb’s Burst paintings draw on mythical and anthropological motifs to reflect a ‘totality of existence.’ In a 1943 letter by Gottlieb and Mark Rothko published in the New York Times, the Abstract Expressionists declared, ‘We favor the simple expression of the complex thought. We are for the large shape because it has the impact of the unequivocal. We wish to reassert the picture plane. We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth.’ In Untitled, the simple, binary structure of the composition relies on the polarity of the circular focal point at the top of the paper and the gestural burst at the bottom. The upper zone appears to vibrate, evoking a calming effect reminiscent of Color Field paintings. In contrast, the frenetic energy in the bottom zone engages with the gestural abstraction tradition.

161 ELAINE FRIED DE KOONING (American, 1918–1989) Theme of the Bull #14 1959, oil on paper signed E. de K. lower right sheet: 11 x 13 5/16 in. frame: 18 3/8 x 20 1/2 in. $15,000–25,000 Provenance: By descent within the family of a private collector. Other Notes: Holland-Goldowsky Gallery, Inc (Chicago) label verso. The Abstract Expressionist artist Elaine de Kooning had a lifelong interest in bodily movement, whether capturing the presence of her portrait sitters or the physiology of animals in motion. While teaching at the University of New Mexico in 1958, she became infatuated with bullfighting. The artist would travel six hours to see the Sunday bullfights at the Plaza Monumental in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and even likened “the muscles and bristled hides of stampeding bulls” to the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque. On paper, De Kooning animated the ferocious energy of these events with brilliant colors and impulsive, vivid applications of paint. This work was included in de Kooning's 1960 solo exhibition on the Theme of the Bull at Chicago's Holland-Goldowsky Gallery. In a glowing review of the exhibition in the Chicago Daily News, de Kooning's artist statement is quoted: "... now my colors have become claustrophobic; they want to burst the boundaries, to expand, radiate, explode – anything can happen as long as it's outward...If a bull finds himself charging through, if bull fighters wave their capes...it's ok with me...Right now, I gather, I want pageantry, splendor...clamorous color – trumpeting reds and shrieking yellows... the heraldic colors of the corrida." In Theme of the Bull #14, the bull, depicted in black and centered in the composition, becomes the focal point in an otherwise chaotic cacophony of color and movement.

Manship left Borglum’s studio to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and then Rome, thereafter launching his successful career creating idealized figurative works in bronze.

178 OLIN LEVI WARNER (American, 1844–1896) Julian Alden Weir 1880, bronze signed Olin Warner, dated 1880, and inscribed Alden Weir on the reverse height: 22 in. $1,500–2,500 Provenance: Julian Alden Weir, the sitter; by descent to his daughter, Mrs. George Page Ely (née Caroline Weir), 1919; by descent to her daughter, Mrs. Gregory Smith (née Anne Weir Ely); by descent within the family to a private California collection; private collection, New York. Literature: Tolles, Thayer, ed. American Sculpture in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Volume I: A Catalogue of Works by Artists Born before 1865. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1999), pp. 213 – 215, no. 89, (another cast illus). In 1877, Olin Levi Warner became a founding member of the Society of American Artists, through which he likely met Julian Alden Weir, a fellow artist, and future sitter. Warner’s celebrated portrait bust of Weir shows the young artist at age twenty–eight and was immediately praised as “the finest, most virile piece of work yet exhibited in New York,” when the plaster was shown at the Annual Exhibition of the Society of American Artists in 1880. The turned head, asymmetrical shoulders, and facial expression of Weir are reminiscent of Jean–Baptiste Carpeaux’s naturalistic modeling, and perhaps influenced by Warner’s time spent as Carpeaux’s studio assistant. Warner later submitted a bronze cast of Weir to the 1881 Paris Salon, his first time in the exhibition, and included it in shows at the National Academy of Design (1888), Paris Universal Exposition (1889), a retrospective exhibition at the Society of American Artists (1892), and Worlds Columbian Exhibition (1893).

Provenance: The artist; by descent to his daughter, Mrs. George Page Ely (née Caroline Weir), 1919; by descent to her daughter, Mrs. Gregory Smith (née Anne Weir Ely); by descent within the family to a private California collection; private collection, New York.

$6,000–8,000 Julian Alden Weir was a leading Connecticut impressionist, renowned for his landscapes and his embrace of a new style of portraiture in the last decade of the nineteenth century. For Weir, portraiture was not limited to presenting the likenesses of his sitters, and it became an inventive medium for him to experiment with style and technique. The soft, feathery brushwork and light palette of Lady in a Kimono speak to this, as does Weir’s inclusion and treatment of his sitter’s kimono and Japanese screen.

The historic Camp Harmony was built in 1879 at the junction of the Restigouche and Upsalquitch Rivers in New Brunswick, Canada for New York angler Dean Sage. In 1888, Sage's privately published book The Restigouche and Its Salmon Fishing sparked worldwide recognition for the river and the camp. In 1895, the camp was expanded by the noted New York architect Stanford White, an avid angler who designed many of the premier fishing lodges on the Restigouche River, including William K. Vanderbilt's Kedgwick Lodge and the Restigouche Salmon Club. Since the 19th century, the Camp Harmony Angling Club has continued to operate as one of the most famous Atlantic salmon fishing destinations in North America.

Working in Canton and Macao, the Chinese painter Sunqua was widely celebrated for his paintings of the China trade ships, ports, and landscapes. His delicate attention to detail vividly captures the bustling trade and commerce surrounding the western factories, or hongs, at Canton. The hongs functioned as trading headquarters, warehouses, and residences for Western merchants until 1841, when Westerners were expelled from Canton during the first opium war. In this scene, Sunqua relays the vibrancy and prosperity of the Canton waterfront in the early 19th century through his depiction of the busy waterway, detailed architecture, and foreign flags flying high along the waterfront.

223 THOMAS WARE (American, 1803–1836) Four Portraits of the Marcy Family $15,000–25,000 Provenance: By descent within a Woodstock, Vermont family. Thomas Ware, a Vermont native, is known for his naïve portrait painting, as demonstrated in Four Portraits of the Marcy Family, painted in 1823. The paintings, which have descended within a Woodstock, Vermont family collection, are notable not only for the striking rendering of each figure, but also for Ware's confident signature and inscriptions on the reverse of each work. These works reflect the heyday of naïve American portrait painting that flourished from the late–eighteenth century until the 1850s.

Giusti lower left each: 15 x 12 in. frames: 18 3/4 x 15 1/2 in. $2,000–3,000 Provenance: Purchased in Naples, Italy, April 1849 by J.L.

226 After LIPPO MEMMI (Italian, ca. 1291–1356) Madonna and Child oil on panel 31 1/2 x 21 1/2 in., frame: 41 x 31 in. $5,000–10,000 Provenance: Purchased in Europe, first half 20th century; The Collection of Herman and Margaret Hyde Butler, Rochester, New York; a gift to the Sisters of Mercy of Rochester; The Collection of an Upstate New York Gentleman. The Tuscan town of Siena was dedicated to the Virgin in 1260 on the eve of the Battle of Montaperti. The resulting fervor in the “City of the Virgin” resulted in an influx of imagery from Sienese artists depicting the Madonna and Child. The present work is after a panel of the same subject by Lippo Memmi (the brother–in–law and collaborator of noted artist Simone Martini), now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. Memmi's sensitive modelling, refinement, and the almost–translucent quality of his colors are typical of Sienese painting of this period.
