Antique furniture is becoming less of a staple for us as prices continue to reflect changing buying habits. While there are a few fine Empire pieces including a cornucopia carved sofa the balance of the furniture offerings are from the prior mid century and of modern design, some Arts and Crafts including Oscar Bach, French marquetry pieces, some good decorative lots and assorted country. There is a collection of Japanese post Meiji period that features several heavily carved chairs and a large Chinese  marble topped center table. For those with a musical bent there are three pianos; two Steinway and an Erard all in 'art cases' with one of the Steinway's a Model D Style XR Aeolien player. A fine William Lewis and Son viola and  concert Lyon and Healey harp # 3589 will be sure to attract some attention.

An impressive flock of 16 large Boehm figural birds and groupings, a large selection of B&G, Volkstedt, Dresden, Meissen, Lenox and other porcelain figures as well as several large French bisque figures will round out an ongoing disbursement of a tremendous lifelong obsession with fine figurines.  Other porcelain and pottery include several fine Mettlach steins and charges, a large Royal Worcester "Engadine" dinnerware service, some fine Chinese porcelain and export china,  Doulton Lambeth, Moorecroft and others.

At this writing this sale has little silver or estate jewelry, however some silver Judaica including Russian examples and 2 heavy cups by Henryk Winograd combine with a cast signed 'Chamber of Secrets" script with documentation, several fine Jay Strongwater pieces, a meerschaum pipe collection,  several estate carpets and a vintage "Minivac 601" will assure a fine and interesting sale.

Hudson Valley Auctioneers, located at 432 Main Street, Beacon, New York will present an unreserved antique and estate auction with absentee, phone and online bidding through Liveauctioneers.com on Monday May 5th at 5:00 PM EST.  In house previews are Sunday 5/4  from 1pm-5pm and Monday from  2pm-4:30pm or by appointment beginning 4/28. The sale includes the partial contents of the Estate of Jack McAauliffe, the Estate of Mark Morrison and others.

Mark Morrison began his life as a sculptor while nearing his professional retirement. In the late 1930's and into the 1940's, he, like many of the younger artists in New York City, availed himself to the great many academies, museums, teachers and mentors it offered. He studied with John Flannagan before his death, and then Jose de Creeft and William Zorach at the Art Students League. Having an attraction and aptitude for the ideas of the direct carving movement and good thorough craft, he took advantage of the growing public interest in a new American sculpture, and worked quickly to become a contemporary of his teachers. Through the 1950's he exhibited with them, sold, entered competitions, and won awards and unfortunately died suddenly in October of 1964. The 61 lots in this auction consist of 36 primarily stone sculptures and 23 original photographs of his work by Soichi Sunami acquired from his widow several years ago and now offered in their entirety at this sale. 

I first met Jack McAuliffe when I was in my early 20's and operating my first auction company in Cold Spring NY in 1983. A fine, affable man he was among many who helped to guide and educate me in the business of the auction trade. Beyond that he also shared his acumen and appreciation for the fine art that he purchased from me on occasion and later as my business grew became an occasional consignor. His remaining stock and personal collection and possessions are now offered in this sale and include many fine paintings, multiples and period frames, several bronzes and quality 19th century smalls among them an original plaster maquette by Daniel Chester French.  . 

Other estates provided Mid Century furniture, bedroom and dining pieces in teak as well including a Bruno Mathsson lounge.

After the sit-in at the lunch counter at the Montgomery, Alabama courthouse in 1960, Marzette Watts and eight others were expelled from Alabama State College. Enduring intimidation from the police and the Ku Klux Klan, Marzette, a founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, left Alabama and enrolled at NYU in New York City. Having been an art major at ASC, he continued his studies in the department where famed Amistad muralist Hale Woodruff was teaching. He later spent a year at the Sorbonne.

Settling into 27 Cooper Square in Manhattan, Marzette became part of a vibrant community which included Le Roi Jones, Allen Ginsberg, Larry Rivers, and Free Jazz musician, Archie Schepp. The activism of the Free Jazz movement shifted Marzette’s genius from painting to music.

He became a close friend of Lawrence Weiner with whom he worked on soundtracks. Later, he formed his own recording companies and eventually taught at Wesleyan. 

There will also be photographs and a rare Delancey Street Museum flyer featuring a Bob Thompson exhibit. This will be an in person as well as liveauctioneers event.

A bound color catalog featuring an in depth biography of Marzette Watts and images of all 150 lots, is now available. Please forward a check in the amount of $40.00 ($35.00 + 5.00 shipping) to the order of Hudson Valley Auctioneers at the address shown below.
