Robert Indiana: NUMBERS (unsigned edition)
Pop art icon Robert Indiana came to prominence in the 1960s and is most famous for his LOVE iconography, which, until recently took the form of an aluminum sculpture at the corner of 6th Ave. and 55th Street.
Known for using public signs and symbols with altered lettering to make stark and challenging visual statements in his prints, paintings and constructions, Indiana gave new meaning to essential words like Eat, Die and Love. By presenting them in bold block letters and vivid colors, he invited his viewers to approach the commonplace from a new perspective.
NUMBERS is a complete set of 1968 silkscreens, created for Manhattan's legendary Multiples Shop, situated next to the old Whitney Museum.
This set is in its original custom packaging, designed to go straight from the shop to hanging on the wall. It is a truly rare survival. And for New Yorkers, like Indiana himself, it's a piece of our shared history.

Picture this: A full week on an uncrowded, pristine stretch of Nantucket's Madequecham Beach with your nearest and dearest - or as many as you can fit in a gorgeously decorated, 5-bedroom, 6-bath, oceanfront house with a private gym and in-ground heated pool and spa. Epic views, cookouts, beach football, stunning sunsets, winding walking paths and of course whale watching. Look no further for your postcard-perfect New England experience.
The signature south shore location is truly special. Just a few roads lead into this unspoiled, off-the-beaten-path, seaside enclave just 15 minutes East of the airport. Its privacy and natural beauty are preserved by surrounding conservation land and the ocean. Travel 15 minutes further East to find the vast open spaces of Tom Nevers Beach, with its surf-ready waves and - at low-tide - waist-high waters, ideal for younger waders and shell-hunters.
This is Nantucket as it used to be - and how your loved ones will always remember it.

"After a full day of walking the gardens, just as golden hour was approaching, I was stopped in my tracks by the sight of two lone chairs under a Willow tree by the marsh," says Scrofani Frasca.
As a photographer and multimedia artist at the forefront of the digital art movement, Diane Scrofani Frasca (whose early career was in ophthalmic technology) has received acclaim and recognition at galleries and private showings in NYC and beyond.

That was my magnet. Walking along the grounds, I felt transported into a world where white organza blew in the breeze, and lush gardens lined the walkways with tropical plants and exotic flowers. I explored further to discover more of this idyllic sanctuary, as the air around me changed and a glimmer in the distance caught my eye."

Ready for a fascinating art history lesson?
In 1967, Andy Warhol began his now iconic 'Marilyn' series following the tragic death of Marilyn Monroe. Designed from a 1953 publicity shot for the film 'Niagara,' Warhol created 10 variations of the image, each with its own distinct color combination. Only 250 of these "Factory Editions" were produced, which led to them becoming some of the most sought-after in the art world.
In 1970, Warhol collaborated with some anonymous Belgian friends on a new set of prints-highly detailed replicas of his original works- as a commentary on mass production and modern culture.
Today, these prints, created with the exact same tools and methods Warhol had used for the originals and bearing the black stamp "1970 Sunday B. Morning," are part of Warhol's print collection.
Sunday B. Morning, the print studio of Warhol's Belgian collaborators, continues to produce screen prints from these original Factory photo negative stencils. In all, it published 250 editions of Marilyn, Flowers, Campbell's Soup Cans and Campbell's Soup Cans II. Since the 1980s, they have featured a blue stamp on the back.
The relationship between Warhol and the Belgian printers soured for mysterious reasons. What's clear is that their works looked exactly like the original Factory Editions…and why wouldn't they? That was how Andy had, at one point, intended it.
Now that story can be yours to tell!
The lucky bidder will bring home After Andy Warhol 'Marilyn'. Color screenprint on museum board. 917 x 910 mm, 26 1/8 x 35 7/8 inches (sheet), full margins. Stamped "Fill in your own signature" and "Published by Sunday B. Morning" in ink, verso.
Among the most famous Andy Warhol images is a decorative grid of bananas. Here's the very 60s backstory.
In 1965, Warhol became the manager for The Velvet Underground. He booked the rock band-fronted by Lou Reed-into New York's Scepter Studios in April, 1966 to record their first album. Warhol insisted that a chanteuse named Nico (real name Christa Päffgen) sing on the album, hence the title, "The Velvet Underground & Nico."
Warhol gave his Banana painting to the band for their album cover. Early copies invited owners to peel back the banana skin to reveal a flesh-colored banana underneath. The removable banana sticker was so difficult to produce, requiring a special machine, that it delayed the album's release until March, 1967. It would go on to become one of the most significant art-pop records of all time.
Now you can own an indelible piece of rock n' roll and art history with this print, ANDY WARHOL: The Velvet Underground & Nico: A BANANA GRID.
This is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of history. Here is the back story:
One anonymous autograph hunter achieved the near-impossible: Getting two 20th century icons who didn't care much for each other, Andy Warhol and Truman Capote, to sign the cover of Interview Magazine, featuring Liza Minnelli, no less.
The imprints of these dazzling characters combine to create a magnificently rare collector's item that perfectly channels the gritty glamour of 1970s and 80s New York society, most recently depicted in Gus Van Sant's "Capote vs. The Swans."
The back of the frame contains the envelope from the original owner, who-understandably-obtained the signatures of these two gentlemen separately.
Behold, an original lithograph poster for Andy Warhol's film, "The Chelsea Girls."
Though his art took center stage, Warhol's muses and friends received their share of attention. Such was the case with his film, "The Chelsea Girls."
Released in 1966, the edgy, provocative feature centered on footage of his "Superstars," including Mary Woronov, Nico, and Susan Bottomly (aka International Velvet)-all shown, alongside Warhol, on the poster. The movie was Warhol's first commercial success, although it was not quite as critically-acclaimed as the poster made it seem. Visually original, it was projected as a split-screen project, in which one side of the screen was black and white and the other in color. It was shown in several prominent art theaters, including Cinema Rendezvous, the Regency Theater and the York Cinema. The image for the poster was adapted from a photograph by Billy Name, the archivist and photographer for The Factory from 1964-1970.
You'll find no truer portrait of Warhol's '60s scene than this.
Kindergarteners had so much fun choosing their marble size and paint color to create this abstract piece inspired by the colors of this year's auction. Each student watched as their marble paved its way and made its mark on the canvas, just as each one of these awesome student artists do every day.

A Collaborative Bas Relief 18.5" x 22.5" plaster in antique painted wooden frame (*fragile, please handle with care)
Art and nature intertwine with "Petals in Progress," a captivating bas relief creation by our talented Eighth Grade students. Inspired by the timeless elegance of ancient artistic techniques, each detail of this masterpiece resonates with the delicate beauty of the natural world. Eighth Graders meticulously selected real flowers, leaves, and herbs, infusing their essence into clay with precision and care. With gentle hands, they pressed these botanical treasures into the clay, creating an intricate mold that captures every texture and contour.
"Floral Tapestry: A Collaborative Ceramic Garden on the Wall"
48.5" x 30" Clay, wood, spray paint
This three-dimensional wall piece transforms any space into a sanctuary of natural beauty and artistic ingenuity. Affixed upon a sturdy wooden panel, our Ninth Grade students meticulously shaped each delicate petal and leaf out of clay. After firing the ceramic flowers, they assembled the artwork with care, arranging and attaching them before giving the entire piece a classic matte white finish that seamlessly fits into any decor.
Bring the enchantment of the outdoors into your home with "Floral Tapestry," where the talent of our Ninth Grade artists flourishes and the beauty of nature is forever immortalized in ceramic splendor. Bid now to own this celestial garden and let its radiant charm illuminate your space with timeless elegance.
The 43" x 43" Blooming Quilt is a colorful reminder of the flourishing imaginations and budding talents within the 5th-grade class. Assigned a tile each, every student was provided with basic geometric coding blocks to explore and eventually craft their unique floral patterns with. These tiles were then sewn together, resulting in a one of a kind textile tapestry.
For this year's Auction, 7th-grade students worked on an art project inspired by the work of former graffiti artist Eric Reiger, known as "HOTTEA". Drawing upon Reiger's innovative use of materials, particularly oodles of colorful yarn and PVC tubing, Mr. Cameron and 7th grade students collaborated to create a striking installation called the "Ring of String."
