20th Century Design online June 17–29, 2020 | www.skinnerinc.com Our June auction offers over 700 lots for the discerning collector, dealer, or homeowner seeking furniture, artwork, and decorative objects spanning the 20th and early 21st centuries. Art Nouveau objects include Tiffany Studios, Imperial Art Glass, and Gallé. The Arts and Crafts movement is represented by Grueby Faience, a collection of Hugh C. Robertson experimental glaze vases, and a fine fire screen in the manner of Samuel Yellin. A rare pair of Jean Puiforcat sterling silver vases offer the very best of the Art Deco movement. Mid-century Modern in America is exemplified by the textiles of Angelo Testa and Dorothy Liebes, as well as furniture from the houses of Miller and Knoll. Scandinavian Modern pieces start with the pioneering work of Josef Frank and include a Finn Juhl NV-45 armchair and a pair of NV-53 lounge chairs. The Post-Modernism section of the sale includes designs by Evans, Seandel, Springer, Axelsson, Lissoni, Citterio, Urquiola, Magistretti, and Adler. Lastly, we offer for your consideration studio art glass works by Chihuly, Morris, Prochazka, Hlavicka, and Vallien—this sale truly has something for everyone!
