This September sale brings together 199 lots drawn from a distinguished private art reference library, spanning modern and contemporary painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, design history, and the decorative arts — a breadth that will appeal equally to the specialist collector and the working art historian. The anchor of the sale is a deep run of monographs on twentieth-century masters, with particularly strong representation of Picasso, Chagall, Mondrian, Pollock, de Kooning, Modigliani, Klimt, and the Latin American modernists Kahlo, Tamayo, and Frida — complemented by focused groups on American Impressionism, the Wyeth dynasty, Stuart Davis, and the Photo-Realists. Among the more distinctive offerings are a large-square-folio Salvador Dalí (Abrams, 1968) in its striking metallic gold dust jacket, a Colin Eisler folio on Jacopo Bellini in publisher’s cloth, a complete set of Elliott Erwitt’s eighteen-booklet Italians in Movement boxed edition, and a run of four Easton Press series groups bound in full leather with extensive colour illustration. Architecture collectors will find focused material on Gaudí, Richard Meier, Kevin Roche, and Saarinen alongside volumes on Shaker design, English country house interiors, and French decorative arts, while photography is represented by monographs on Atget, Arbus, Strand, Winogrand, McCullin, and Robert Frank — making this a sale of genuine range and scholarly depth.
