Fine Paintings Auction at Doyle on October 10
Roger Medearis (1920-2001), My Father's House, 1972, 24 x 30 inches. Est. $6,000-$8,000.



NEW YORK, NY.- Doyle's auction of Fine Paintings on Wednesday, October 10 at 10am offers a wide range of traditional, academic and early Modern works with moderate pre-sale estimates. Following the successful inaugural auction of Fine Paintings last Spring, Doyle's second auction in this new category showcases over 170 paintings by prominent American and European artists.

With a career spanning over eighty years, Theresa Bernstein (1890-2002) was one of the foremost American Modernists. Despite having studied under Daniel Garber at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, and William Merritt Chase at the Art Students League in New York, it was during her trips to Europe in 1905 and, again in 1912, where, having witnessed the new Modernism unfold around her, did she find her voice as an artist. She was a member of the Philadelphia Ten, a women's artist group formed in 1917 in response to the male-dominated artist group "The Eight," later coined the Ashcan School. She worked with John Sloan to create the Society of Independent Artists and served on the committee of the New York Society of Women Artists. Featured in the sale is a fine example of one of the artist’s lively depictions of life in the city, Victory Parade, from 1941 (est. $4,000-6,000).

Also representing the early American Modernists is a wonderful 1910 drawing of towering urban skyscrapers titled City by Abraham Walkowitz (1878-1965) (est. $800-1,200). The artist skillfully creates, with crooked, menacing line, a lively surface where thousands of citizens meld into a fast moving river flowing between buildings pushing against one another. Seemingly wanting to burst free from the confines of the paper’s edge, they rise higher and higher -- much as Manhattan, unable to expand beyond its watery border, has nowhere to go but up. Walkowitz had several of his works included in the influential 1913 Armory Show in New York. A vocal supporter of the Modernist movement, he was a member and most frequent exhibitor of Alfred Stieglitz’ 291 Gallery.

Roger Medearis (1920-2001) studied under Thomas Hart Benton at the Kansas City Art Institute and was a rising figure in the Regionalist movement until his career was interrupted by World War II. His works executed after the War were seen as out of step with the contemporary artistic trends, and he abandoned painting until the 1960s. Featured in the sale is My Father's House from 1972, a beautiful example of Medearis’ work from the last stage of his career (est. $6,000-8,000).

Other artists represented in the auction include Antonietta Brandeis, Hippolyte Camille Delpy, Guillaume Seignac, Pavel Tchetlichew, Christian Berard, David Burliuk, Ludwig Bemelmans, Clarence Kerr Chatterton, Frederick Simpson Coburn, John Fabian Carlson, Claude Venard, Hughes Claude Pissarro and Ogden Pleissner.

The public is invited to the exhibition on view from Saturday, October 6 through Tuesday, October 9. Doyle is located at 175 East 87th Street in Manhattan. The catalogue is available online at Doyle.com
