Successful Auction of Fine Art on July 14, 2022
Works Spanning the Post-War Years to the Present Day by Established and Emerging Artists
Consignments Are Currently Being Accepted for Future Auctions

NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle held a successful sale in the Fine Art auction category on July 14, 2022. Showcased were a wide range of affordable paintings, prints and sculpture spanning the Post-War years to the present day by established and emerging artists. Exciting opportunities abound in this popular category for seasoned buyers and new collectors alike!

With competitive bidding, the sale totaled a successful $310,856, surpassing the pre-sale estimate of $194,800-309-400, with an impressive 90% sold by lot and 100% by value.

Highlighting the sale was a group of works by Kentucky-born artist Henry Lawrence Faulkner (1924-1981) that all exceeded expectations, including the top lot of the day, Proud Cock, which realized $18,900 -- A World Auction Record for the Artist. Faulkner first started exhibiting his paintings around the 1950s. His style draws from both the Surrealist and Colorist movements and he took inspiration from around the world, as well as in his native Kentucky. His subject matter varied from still lifes and landscapes to image collages and animals.

Andy Warhol's New York City studio brought together celebrities, artists and other creatives. In 1977, Warhol met printer Rupert Jasen Smith who collaborated with him to create the Space Fruit series. For this series, Warhol placed pieces of fruit on a white background, lit the arrangement then photographed the compositions to produce stark shadows. Warhol then used collage and drawing to create the source imagery for additional screens. The color screenprint Apples attracted determined bidding that sent the work to $17,640 -- A World Auction Record for the Print.
