Littleton Art & Sculpture Auction Plus Live Edge Wood Furniture

Discover an artful and wonderfully eclectic collection assembled from two distinctive sources. A portion of the auction comes from an art and sculpture collection generously left to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Denver, which entrusted Sydney Lane Estate Sales with offering the pieces on its behalf. The remaining lots come from the private collection of a local dealer.

This diverse auction features original paintings, limited-edition prints, photography, sculpture, folk art and decorative objects from Colorado, the American Southwest and around the world. Highlights include New Mexican retablos by Lydia Garcia and Marie Romero Cash; Native American pottery, kachina figures and sculpture by Eric Tafoya, Frank Poolheco, Kathleen Wall and others; religious folk art; hand-carved figures; African tribal art; studio pottery; Italian and European ceramics; hand-blown art glass; vintage collectibles; and one-of-a-kind decorative pieces.

The fine-art selection includes original oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors and mixed-media works by Mary Alice Fullerton, Ramon Kelley, Lani Vlaanderen, Louis Recchia, Stephen Day, Jeremy Hillhouse, Connie Taylor, Frances Gottlieb, Christina Coyle and other regional and nationally recognized artists. Collectors will also find signed and limited-edition works by Salvador Dalí, Bev Doolittle, Linda Le Kinff, Mikhail Shemyakin, Earl Newman, Michel Delacroix, Eva Carter and J.B. Thompson, along with Southwestern landscapes, Colorado scenes, European cityscapes, abstract and figurative works, fine-art photography and vintage prints.

Additional offerings include Steinbach German nutcrackers, a hand-carved Japanese kokeshi doll, vintage Fitz & Floyd and DeForest ceramics, Fiesta Ware, Italian maiolica, sculptural art glass, a handwoven Southwestern-style textile, an Art Nouveau-style mirror, mixed-metal wall sculptures and a colorful assortment of distinctive home décor. The auction also includes an antique quarter-sawn oak piano bench, a four-section glass-front barrister bookcase and several striking live-edge root and burl-wood tables.

Rich in color, craftsmanship, cultural character and artistic variety, this auction offers compelling finds for established collectors, art lovers and anyone searching for something memorable and distinctive for the home.
