Featuring Property from the Ismar Littmann Family Collection
At Auction March 5
Complete Catalogue Coming Soon
Our morning session will begin with Property from the Ismar Littmann Family Collection of German Expressionism and European Avant-Garde. The collection includes significant works by Lyonel Feininger, Erich Heckel, Paul Klee, Käthe Kollwitz, Otto Mueller and Max Pechstein. A robust selection continues in the afternoon session, ranging from nineteenth-century visionaries such as James A. M. Whistler to modern masters like Georges Braque, Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso, as well as a run of scarce prints by Edvard Munch. A highlight of the American section includes Rain On Murray Hill by Martin Lewis, a quintessential New York scene that demonstrates Lewis’s mastery of printmaking and his adept skill at depicting nocturnal and atmospheric conditions.
