In Capsule’s diverse, thoughtfully curated spring sale of 50 lots, one can trace the arc of modern and contemporary art through carefully selected works by some of the greatest artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. For classic modern art enthusiasts, there is a lovely 1929 Charles Burchfield watercolor (lot 24), an intimate and lyrical abstract painting by French artist Georges Mathieu (lot 9 from The Schulhof Collection), as well as two charming Picasso ceramics, each from private collections (lots 15 and 22). Geometric abstractionist sculptures by Julio Le Parc (lot 28 also from The Schulfhof Collection), and Jesús Rafael Soto (lots 29 and 32) balance the more expressionist works by their contemporaries in the auction, Robert Rauschenberg (lot 2), Robert Motherwell (lots 30 and 33 from The Levy and Schulhof Collections respectively), and José Guerrero, whose 1987 Azural is the great highlight of the sale (lot 37). Artwork from the collection of esteemed art critic, author, poet, and illustrator Anthony Haden-Guest make for an impressive presentation of contemporary art, including works by Carolee Schneemann (lots 4 and 31), Richard Hambleton (lots 27, 45, and 46), Damien Hirst (38), and Peter Beard (lots 39 to 42). There is much more to discover in Capsule’s May 10 auction—visit Bidsquare to place online bids, or bid live at Capsule’s state-of-the-art gallery space in New York’s East Village.
