May 5th, Auction Summary

May-flie_20250501-194053_1

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. Estate jewelry in gold and silver set with various stones will be plentiful as well as a large selection of sterling hollowware and flatware. A small selection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain, artwork and an exceptional rosewood carved dragon chair will begin the general sale. Expect offerings of Tiffany, Steuben, Lalique, fine china and glass, a small collection diecast and other toys and a varied but interesting group of estate furniture from country to high style.

Plan to preview or view the sale online. Images and listings as well as bidding links for all items are available on our website. Gallery is open for payments and pickup Tuesday 5/6 from 10am to 3pm and daily that week 9-3:30. Weekend pick up appointments can be arranged for limited pickups if invoices are prepaid.

Auction Summary, March 3rd, Estate of Larry Wiseman with Additions.

March-3rd-bee-flier

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 March 3rd at an early start of 3:00 PM EST. In house previews are Sunday March 2nd from 1pm-5pm and Monday from 12-2:30 pm or by appointment beginning 2/24. Auction features the remaining contents of the Estate of Larry Wiseman, Sparkill NY with select additions.

Those of us fortunate to have spent and still spend our respective lives in this thoroughly engrossing and occasionally maddening trade share many similar experiences. Aside from all the endless stories of triumph and tragedy there is one constant; the meeting of the same and seemingly ever changing group of unique personalities that frequent the shows, markets, shops and auctions.

Very early in my first auctions in Cold Spring I met Larry Wiseman. He was already well established and known as "The Renaissance Man". At the time I had sold him a cast stone WPA sculpture and after buying it he exuberantly told me what a fantastic purchase he had made and frankly how much of a bargain he had gotten. He remained a client and one of those "personalities" in and out of my life for the next 45 years.

I hadn't known he'd passed two years ago. He had still been buying the occasional auction lot that I had personally delivered to his slowly decaying Victorian mansion in Sparkill at his insistence. He never let me inside. And now, as I offer for sale what remains in his house and grounds, I've gotten to know better the fascinating fellow he was. His numerous interests are represented by the variety of items in this upcoming auction.

For example Larry's lifelong affection for Venice, Italy was evident by a collection of gondola oar locks; one by Giuseppe Carli, several paintings, Murano glass, cameo shells, Italian Provincial furniture and Renaissance decorative items.

He was enamored with cowboys and the American West. Several reproduction Remmington bronzes, two large cowboy themed canvas murals, various skulls, a fine tooled saddle, tooled belts, two F.V. Guinzburg terracotta exhibition sculptures of Mexican women and a very large cast set antler styled rustic furniture are evidence. Religious objects include a very early carved Christian triptych, early gilt carved station, a 17th century Bible with leather binding, an early icon, several statues and other artworks.

Victoriana was another interest as a pair of cast iron figural boys, an exceptional pair leaded windows, a Herter quality standing desk, carved marble and alabaster statues and spelter statues will be offered. And then there are the oddities; a stuffed dog in a shadowbox , a stuffed monkey, a taxidermy horse head, a Concetta Scaravaglione WPA statue of an Island drummer, ethnographic carvings and from Doyle's NY 1986 auction of Rock Hudson's personal items a Stroud player piano with trompe l'oeil decoration, Hudson's collection of piano rolls and the original auction catalog and receipt.

Sadly we lost another longtime client this year, Arthur Gordon of Tarrytown NY. A former educator show and shop dealer we had been working closely with Arthur and his wife Michelle over the past few years to disperse their multiple overstuffed storage units. This auction has several lots from their personal furnishings to include several fine bronzes, bronze 19th century decorative items, lighting, a fine marble clock, brilliant cut crystal, porcelains and Italian gilt carvings.

From the local home of a world renowned photographer, now 90 years old , comes a fine mid century Herman Miller bedroom set, several lots of silver, L. C. Tiffany glass, the finest Gothic Revival silver-plate mechanical cruet set and some fine china services.

Other silver and jewelry lots include a fine Reed and Barton flatware set, lots of hollowware, watches, lots of gold jewelry led by an excellent large 18k brooch with gemstones by Ed Wiener and several lots of sterling jewelry.

Excellent 'brown' furniture from a prominent Rye NY family estate includes several period George 3rd pieces including a fine leather top partner's desk, an exceptional chest on chest in burl, a silver chest and a later dining table and chairs, a banded Regency Pembroke table, an English Regency burl desk and a fine Chippendale mahogany fretwork silver table purchased from George N Antiques. Expect many other individual and many group lots of interesting and fresh to the market items of interest in the near 600 lots.

Plan to preview or view the sale online. Images and listings as well as bidding links for all items are available on our website after 2/21. Gallery is open for payments and pickup Tuesday 3/4 from 10am to 3pm and daily that week 9-3:30. Weekend appointments can be arranged for limited pickups if invoices are prepaid.

October 9th: The Art of Artist, Musician and Activist Marzette Watts

050-1

Hudson Valley Auctioneers will offer 150 lots for auction including oils, watercolors and ink on paper by Artist and Activist Marzette Watts on October 9th, Columbus Day at 7PM.                                                                                                                    

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.
