Auction Details

Modern + Contemporary Design
Wright will showcase a wide range of styles and trends of the twentieth century in the first major design auction of the fall. From the turn of the century there are several noteworthy designs, including a cast iron ornamental detail from the Chicago Stock Exchange by Louis Sullivan and a samovar in hand-wrought brass by Josef Hoffmann. A rare occasional table by Walter von Nessen illustrates the height of American Art Deco and its simplified forms. Several works by Vladimir Kagan are juxtaposed against designs by Paul Evans and Phil Powell which show an unexpected cohesive mood in the East Coast design studios during the 1960s. Chic French style is showcased in a collection of designs by Gabriella Crespi, Kim Moltzer and Michel Boyer with earlier French precedents by Jean Prouve, Jean Royere and Georges Jouve. Other highlights include work by Hans Coper, Art Smith, Donald Drumm and a large collection of artwork by Harry Bertoia. Fashionable contemporary design continues its rise in the market with several works represented in the auction. A collection of biomorphic designs by Marc Newson is shown along side a sofa by the Dutch architect Ben van Berkel, a Vermelha chair by the Campana Brothers and a pair of chairs by Mats Theselius.

Books of Art + Design is our second auction of reference material focusing on modern and contemporary art and design books, including monographs, surveys, periodicals and ephemera. As a companion to our regular art and design auctions, this sale reflects Wright's desire to diffuse knowledge and showcases the importance of twentieth century design.??An important selection of artist's books will be offered- a selection of rare Dieter Roth Werke Bande books and Gordon Matta-Clark's Walls Paper are notable examples. Additionally, the sale features a large selection of reference material on Modern and Contemporary art with several lots comprised of books about Donald Judd, Gerhard Richter, Brice Marden, Richard Serra and Richard Tuttle. Modern design is represented with lots of Scandinavian and Italian Design titles, typography reference material and six decades of Domus catalogs.
